A Prayer Inspired by Nehemiah 3
Last week our Bible study leader challenged us to write at least one prayer a week while we are working our way through Nehemiah. This brief prayer is what I came up with while studying Nehemiah 3. It will help me see genealogies differently too, and every other place where there is a list of people in Scripture.
God makes the willing able
His will to perform
His glory to display
Lord, make me so this day
You see, God didn't have lists of people included in the Bible just to fill the pages as some of us might do. Everything is significant. As we read in 2 Timothy, All Scripture is profitable. Some times the profitability is more obvious and some times it takes more effort. Take the time, make the effort, as those in Nehemiah did.
