Hanani, one of my brothers, and some men from Judah came; and I asked them about the surviving Jews who had escaped and survived the captivity, and about Jerusalem. They said to me, “The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach; the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its [fortified] gates have been burned (destroyed) by fire.” Now it came about when I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying [constantly] before the God of heaven. And I said, “Please, O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You, day and night, on behalf of Your servants, the sons (descendants) of Israel (Jacob), confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have committed against You; I and my father’s house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. [Deut 6:1-9] Please remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful and violate your obligations to Me I will scatter you [abroad] among the peoples; [Lev 26:33]

Prayer changes everything! Yet so many things get in the way of connecting with our powerful and loving Creator. In this three-day reading plan, Hakeem Collins reveals three keys to life-changing results that come through the art of prayer. Prayer works when we work our faith in prayer. Position yourself today to partner with God and activate mountain-moving faith that produces supernatural outcomes.
This 3-day plan shows how God worked in the lives of three leaders: Isaiah, Nehemiah, and Mary during seasons of transition. They were living in between where they were and where they were heading. Instead of waiting idly, impatiently, or impulsively, they took wise, practical steps. Each day of this plan provides a way to anchor yourself in scripture and experience God’s presence to find meaningful work during your transitional seasons.

Do you have a vision but you're not quite sure what to do with it? The fulfillment of a calling starts with clarity of the Vision. In this devotional, we will dive into Nehemiah Chapter 1 and look at the difference between a dream and a vision and how Nehemiah modeled what it looks like for us to steward the vision God gives us on this earth.
We all go through career transitions. In this study, you will learn how Nehemiah navigated one of his transitions through four distinct phases. Insights from the first two chapters of Nehemiah are especially timely and applicable today.
