* Below is a good forensic on how to handle personal and national repentance.

* When it comes to repentance there are two parts - our part and God’s.

* OUR PART:

* 1) Humility - only sinners need a Savior. You have to know you’ve sinned.

* 2) Pray - communicating with God meshes our hearts to His.

* 3) Seek God’s face - we don’t seek an answer to prayer, but to grow closer to Him.

* We then hope for His will over ours.

* 4) Repent - change direction, change your mind.

* GOD’S PART:

* 1) God will hear us - a truly repentant child will always get the attention of his parents.

* 2) Forgive our sin - He’s “dying” to forgive - He wants to do it.

* 3) Heal our land - Whatever needs healing will be healed. May take time, but it will happen.
