This blog post is based off of Nehemiah 4:1-23 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
Nehemiah knew that his task ahead of him was going to be difficult, but he never imagined that rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem would be nearly impossible. Many enemies threatened the people, but after much prayer they kept on with weapon in hand and building in the other.
Sometimes there are tasks at hand that seem too difficult to complete. Maybe it is a project at work. or finishing school. It might just be something on your heart that you want to do but feel ill-equipped to do so.
Nehemiah had a daunting task ahead of him and he decided that through prayer he, and the people alongside him, would be able to finish it. It was only with God's help that the job was made possible.
Who in your life can come alongside you and help you out with your difficult task? Is there someone who can pray with you about it, or maybe even lend a helping hand? God knows what we need and He is waiting for us to call on Him for strength and perseverance.
"First get on your knees and pray, then get on your feet and work." Gordon B. Hinckley
