The entire globe is troubled after the virus outbreak and it has been declared as national wide emergencies in most of the countries. People are hopeless and in panic. Bible says, Lord will heal their land[II Chronicles 7:14]; But why it is not still healed? Everything comes with a price and the price is not paid yet.
Who can claim the promise?
God had entered into a covenant with Israel(and perhaps even modern-day Israel; believers of Lord Jesus Christ) and promised to take care of them and cause them to prosper as long as they obeyed him. He also said to bring curses upon them if they failed to obey. Because of the covenant relationship, there was a direct correspondence between their obedience and their prosperity, and their disobedience and their hardship.
What has to be done?
If a nation is in trouble, a prayerful and repentant response by Christians in that nation is always appropriate.
The Reward!
God will first hear our prayers, forgive our sins, which brought the judgment upon the land, and then will heal their land, and redress their grievances.

Humble - Seek - Pray & Turn
We always blame others for something which has gone worse; always say, 'Its not because of me'. But this time, we are going to accept it, face it and change it. Yes, its us. we need to accept that and humble ourselves before the Lord, ask for forgiveness. We might think, I am not so bad; just remember God's standard is always high and examine are we meeting those standards, identify the gaps and pray about that.If a nation is in trouble, a prayerful and repentant response by Christians in that nation is always appropriate.

What we are waiting for still? We believers of Christ are the people who are called by God's name. If we, humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and repent, then God will heal our land.
It is time for us to pray and our prayers will heal our land.
