Nehemiah – More than a Wall …a Project of Prayer – 1:5-11 February 10, 2008
- Lord =
“God’s character determines His actions… and they should determine our approach to Him.”
“Is the God I worship big enough to handle my challenges?”
Most of the prayer is dedicated to confession not petition - II Chronicles 7:14
“Servant”
Choose to Obey... Choose to Rejoice!!
- or -
Choose to Sin... Choose to Suffer!
- and if you want -
Choose to Repent... Choose to be Forgiven!!
11 – grant him “compassion”
“Pray as if everything depends on God, then work as if everything depends on you.” Martin Luther
As he prays, what, how, and when to act becomes evident…
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, Ephesians 3:20
Prays, waits for 4 months… then builds for only 52 days – less than half the time he was praying!
