PRAYER:

PRAY THAT GOD WOULD HELP YOU BECOME A PERSON OF PRAYER

DEVOTIONAL:

In Nehemiah 4:1-14, we see Nehemiah facing opposition as he works to rebuild the walls of

Jerusalem. Despite the threats and mocking from his enemies, Nehemiah responds with prayer.

He recognizes the importance of seeking God's help and guidance in the face of adversity. Prayer

is not just a religious ritual, but a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with God and seek

His strength and wisdom.

Just as Nehemiah relied on prayer to overcome obstacles, we too must understand the

significance of prayer in our own lives. In times of trouble, uncertainty, or doubt, prayer can

provide us with comfort, peace, and direction. It is through prayer that we can build a deeper

relationship with God and invite His presence into our lives. However, if we are honest, prayer

can be intimidating but thankfully, Jesus provides us a model of how we ought to pray which

begins with approaching God not as a person to be intimidated by but as a Father who loves us.

Let us follow Nehemiah's example and make prayer a priority in our daily lives, trusting that

God hears our prayers and will guide us through any challenges we may face.

Question:

In order to become a person of prayer, it can be helpful to have a place and time of

prayer. This week, how can you make a consistent place and time for prayer?
