2 Chronicles 7:12-16

Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.

For now I have chosen and consecrated this house so that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there always.
