Grace for your spirit
They said to me, "The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates are burned with fire." When I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the Lord of heaven. Nehemiah 1:3-4
Have we ever found ourselves in a bad situation and wanted to do something but could not? Then we needed to pray, but couldn't find the words? .The prayer of Nehemiah in chapter one gives us guidance and hope. Nehemiah was troubled, and everything seemed to be out of his control. He began to pray and the prayer of chapter one actually covers 4 months. In that time of prayer, his spirit was quieted, his focus was sharpened, and his plans were made. God never spoke to Nehemiah directly but opened the door of opportunity, and made him successful in the things that troubled him. Studying the prayers of the Bible can be very enlightening and the best therapy available. God bless us in our search for solutions and answers. Which of us couldn't use a quieted spirit, a sharper focus and plans that gave us success.?
