A foreign king's heart is quietly stirred and a door swings open; joy and weeping rise together over a new foundation; Nehemiah rides the broken walls alone by moonlight, seeing what they will become; every family builds the stretch before their own house; and the word for the week holds the whole thing up: the joy of the Lord is your strength. We end by the embers, the watchman keeping watch, the city singing far ahead.Scripture woven throughout: Ezra 1:2–3, 3:11–13; Nehemiah 1:4, 2:4, 2:12–18, 3:23, 4:9, 6:3, 8:9–12, and 12:43.For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near.About Deseret Devotional: Peaceful sleep stories, scripture meditations, and devotional readings for Latter-day Saints.
