Exactly, the scripture is focused on believers getting right with God. If that happens, then their land will be healed.
That’s why the Bonar prayer:
“Almighty God, our hearts are humbled in your presence.
We bow before Your leadership and submit to Your will.”

One can muse whether we even know what that means in this age. God is Mercy and forgiveness, but Repentance must be a conversion and true. Perhaps, even conversion daily, a straining to keep our conversion true.
It is also a universal commitment of the Church, a whole PEOPLE, willing to live for Christ Jesus and yes, even a commitment to die for Christ Jesus. HIS people must repent in whole, and wholly, in order to be Holy. :)
The warm and fuzzy has to go. It simply isn’t working, is it? We are into assurance of Heaven. That is not working either. Many are into a “prosperity” gospel, and that definitely isn’t working. lol. The Western Church is only marginally faithful and think they are devout.
God help us. We have further to fall, until we must repent. We are as the Jews— stiff necked, and prideful people, who have not suffered enough to throw off the yoke of sinful man, seek after God, dearest and true, our Father.
Dearest and Almighty God, bring us to your Jerusalem, refined as in fire, saved and forgiven. Come to our assistance and help us suffer well, in the way of the Son, our Lord and Saviour.
