The king asked, “Well, how can I help you?” With a prayer to the God of heaven, I replied, “If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.”
Nehemiah 2:4-5
Prayer doesn’t have to
- be long to be effective.
- have big words to reach the heart of God.
Prayer just has to be prayed. Anytime. Anywhere. About anything.
We will see examples through out the rebuilding process of Nehemiah taking the time to stop and pray. Anytime. Everywhere. About anything.
Stop and Pray.

What some others say about prayer:
- “When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles, when he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs. When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy.” – Corrie Ten Boom
- “The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.” – F.B. Meyer
- “The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan.” – Oswald Chambers
- “Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.” – John Bunyan
- The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]
James 5:16 (AMP) – James, last name unknown (Brother of Jesus)
