Read Nehemiah 1 once completely through. How does this story begin? How does Nehemiah react to the news? Pay close attention to his conversations with God -- what does Nehemiah say to God? How do you think God will answer? Read Nehemiah 1 again, but this time pause between each verse and think about each word or phrase. Does it become more “alive” for you? -- Andy B
I'm struck by verse 11 in which Nehemiah says to God "Give your servant success today by granting him favor". Today. He asks for success TODAY. What confidence he has in approaching God.
