Nehemiah day 35

So what did Nehemiah do when he heard of the disrepair of the walls and the gates of Jerusalem.

He wept, fasted and prayed for many days. Pretty much the same thing you and I would do right?

What's the next thing he does? He prays some more. He asked for favor from God before he did anything else.

Under Nehemiah's leadership the walls and the gates were rebuilt in 52 days. AMAZING

I really admire how Nehemiah went to God in prayer first.

Why does it seem that the men of the old testament had a much more passionate prayer life? I wonder if we are getting way too comfortable with God's grace and have lost our fear of the Lord?

Till next time...
