Sinopse

Nehemiah is presented with an opportunity to explain his sadness to the king, and in the middle of the conversation he pauses to pray. Even when we don't have the words to pray, and even when we don't have the words to speak, when we pray, God is with us (see Rom. 8:26-27 & Luke 12:11-12). Nehemiah likely spent months in intentional prayer and fasting, but also in planning [v.7-8]. He understood that God could accomplish His plan even through a pagan king like Artaxerxes. God can provide for our needs in totally unexpected or unlikely ways. Nehemiah was physically standing before the king of Persia, but he was actually standing before the King of everything. Application: - God really does answer prayer. - God really is good. - God can be your God because of Jesus.
