Hello Everyone,

Nehemiah didn’t pray just because it was time to pray. He was praying a real prayer of concern.

There’s 2 times to pray: when you feel like it and when you don’t. And we especially need to pray when we feel like it the least.

When is the last time you prayed because you were broken and hurting? When is the last time you were burdened about someone’s soul so much that you wept and prayed for them?

When is the last time you carried the weight of your brother or sister and took their need on your back so much that you helped carry that burden...and you carried it to God in prayer, believing you could ’pray it thru’ for them?

It has been said: "We pray without crying, we give without sacrificing, we live without fasting...is it any wonder that we sow without reaping?!"

Some one else has said: “We are a dry eyed church in a hell bent world”.
"Our eyes are dry, our faith is old, our heart is hard, our prayers are cold."

Nehemiah never could have rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem until he wept over the ruins. The burden led to the prayer that led to the miracle! You cannot heal what you do not feel.

Psalm 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

It is time for the church to be concerned again concerned about the lost, concerned about our country, concerned about the world, and concerned about the church itself.

Believe God for the impossible.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
