Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample
Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
How do you respond to an impending crisis?
Nehemiah is broken because his beloved city of Jerusalem lies in shambles. After hearing about its dire condition, he turns to the Lord “fasting and praying” (Nehemiah 1:4). This choice servant of the Lord regularly launches missile prayers. As a cupbearer, Nehemiah would be in a place of influence since he regularly tasted the king’s food to ensure it wasn’t poisoned. One day, Nehemiah appears before the king, exhibiting a sad countenance, which could result in his demise. After revealing to his sovereign the situation in Jerusalem, “Then the king said to me, ‘What do you request?’ So I prayed to the God of heaven” (Nehemiah 2:4). Again, he lifts up a rapid petition to the Lord that opens an amazing door for Nehemiah to return to Jerusalem. We should also remain in this posture of prayer.
Employment Point: Be ready to launch a missile prayer at all times.
