"The Prayer of a Servant"

September 25, 2023 Daily Devotion: "The Prayer of a Servant" Nehemiah 1:10 ( ESV) 10 They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. Talking to God doesn’t always come naturally, but we have examples in Scripture to help us. In today’s passage, Nehemiah strengthens His prayers by recalling God’s character. Bringing divine attributes to mind increases his faith and confidence in the Lord. Acknowledgement of God’s eternal being is a reminder that God is faithful. Nehemiah prays with confidence because he knows the Lord keeps His promises. We may not use these divine names very often, but we’d all benefit from following Nehemiah’s example of praising God’s character. What attribute of the Father do you need to be reminded of today? Take a moment to thank Him for this trait. Then approach God boldly and lay your request at His feet.
