Nehemiah 1:4-6
As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. 5 And I said, “O Lord God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned.
Let us dedicate ourselves to prayer and fasting this week like Nehemiah. I hope that you are joining us as we pray for the Lord to continue working through our church and people. He has been doing amazing work recently, that has been a joy to behold. The saving work of the Gospel still has power and we have seen that in our church. As we head into fall with Harvest Festival and Trunk or Treat we are given more opportunities for Gospel proclamation. Let us stand ready to use the circumstances God has blessed us with.
God bless,
Pastor Nic
