Episode 1149: 21 Days of Prayer, Day 6

So far, we’ve seen Nehemiah pray, wait, plan, and watch God open doors in miraculous ways. Today’s reminder might surprise you - even when God answers prayer and moves mountains, you’ll still face opposition.When Nehemiah set out to rebuild Jerusalem, everything seemed to be going his way… until critics appeared. Sanballat and Tobiah opposed him at every turn. The truth is, anytime you step out in faith, when you’re right in the center of God’s will, you can expect pushback. Opposition isn’t a sign that you’re failing; it’s often confirmation that you’re doing something that matters.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
