prayer of Nehemiah

"And it came to pass, when I heard these words,

that I sat down and wept, and mourned

certain days, and fasted, and prayed

before the God of Heaven"

(Nehemiah 1:4)

"Oh, sweet Father God, today we lift our eyes toward the heavens and we ask your forgiveness for those times we have neglected Your Word and forsaken You. We weep over those certain days that we failed to see You working and join in. We lament over the lost opportunities that we had to share the precious gospel of You with others and didn't. May we fast and pray before You as we seek to become men and women after Your heart. To have a heart like Yours. To be righteous and holy as You are. We beseech You, precious Savior and Lord, to come into our lives in abundance and in strength. Touch those who are hurting and minister to those who are sick. We will give You all the praise and all the glory that is so due Your name. You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords and we love you with all that we are,

Amen
