Nehemiah 1:4-6

Nehemiah 1:4-6 CSB

When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for a number of days, fasting and praying  before the God of the heavens.  I said,  LORD, the God of the heavens, the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant with those who love him  and keep his commands,  let your eyes be open and your ears be attentive  to hear your servant’s prayer that I now pray to you day and night  for your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins  we have committed against you. Both I and my father’s family have sinned.
