Prayer in Action, Day 2

What does prayer in action look like? Well, first it starts with prayer. Read Nehemiah 1:5-7.

Nehemiah is broken for the situation and position that the people find themselves in. As a result, he begins to pray. Nehemiah’s prayer begins by glorifying God and reminding God of his faithfulness. Nehemiah shares that God is there and blesses the people. Unfortunately, the people haven’t been praising or blessing God. Nehemiah knows this and he pours out his cries to God begging for him to be open to helping the people, even when they don’t deserve it.

Do we cry out to God? Do we beg for God’s help in the midst of all that we are going through? Are we loving Christ as he has loved us through everything?
