We PraySample

Connect With God To Serve National emergencies require strong leadership. Throughout history we can see leaders rise to the occasion to confront the issues and lead the nation. The nation of Israel needed someone to restore the city of Jerusalem, which was in ruins, and bring spiritual revival. What kind of man was God looking for? The Word of God tells us Nehemiah had been a man of prayer and fasting. He knew God’s ways, His holiness, His promises, and His judgments. Nehemiah was a patient intercessor for his people. He possessed a servant’s heart as he served the king as a cup-bearer. He had the faith and confidence that his God was with Him. Nehemiah knew how to connect with his God. His heart, mind, and soul was prepared for the task, and when the time came, he rose to the occasion. With Nehemiah’s example, we can ascertain that our life in Christ will not slip God’s attention and He will call us to service. Prayer: Great is Your Name, Lord God! You are holy, righteous, and almighty. Grant me the ability to pray, fast, intercede, know your Word, and have a pure heart to serve you. I desire to be a faithful servant in your kingdom ready to do your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
