Nehemiah, in Chap 1, wept, mourned, fasted and prayed to God. He did not run around seeing what he could do to help the situation but he knew exactly where to go for help. God alone could help him. He again waited on God during his conversation with the king. Ch 2:4 "Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven." This really struck me that even during conversations I can and should be prayerful that God will direct my words. Once again God "speaks" through His word!
