Job 23:10-12

Job 23:10-12

God, help me to make it through life's tests and come out pure.

Nehemiah 8:8-17

Nehemiah 8:8-17

God, give me the true joy that comes from knowing You and Your ways. Not an emotional feeling that is here one day and gone the next, but a deep satisfaction that stays with me through the good times and bad times.

Nehemiah 3

Great things can be done if many commit to small things.

Nehemiah 2:4

Nehemiah 2:4

I have to admit that there are times when I try to deal with situations on my own without consulting God.

Nehemiah only had a split second when his job and maybe even his life was on the line, and he used it to ask God for help. You can be sure that it wasn't a long-winded prayer. He wasn't trying to show off either; the only one who heard him was God.

John 3:17, 2 Chronicles 30:18-20

John 3:6-18, 2 Chronicles 30:18-20

God isn't about hitting us over the head with a rulebook. God will look past our imperfection if we ask for forgiveness and are serious about changing the way we live.

2 Chronicles 6:10

God has done what he said he would do

It's easy to get caught up in the moment and worry about how things will turn out. God's track record is a reminder that we serve a God who backs up his words.
