| 0:00.0 | Give her struggle with prayer if you do you're not alone. |
| 0:29.9 | Even the apostles had to ask Jesus to teach them to pray. |
| 0:33.9 | Today, untruth for life, Allister Begg takes a closer look at Nehemiah's prayer |
| 0:37.9 | and shows us how it models a helpful framework for us, |
| 0:41.9 | for how we approach God with more meaning and purpose. |
| 0:51.9 | I invite you once again to take your bibles and we'll turn to Nehemiah together. |
| 0:56.9 | And as you turn there, let's pause for a moment and ask God's help as we study this passage. |
| 1:04.9 | Make the book live to me, O Lord. Show me thyself within thy word. |
| 1:12.9 | Show me myself and show me my Savior and make the book live to me. Amen. |
| 1:24.9 | As we study the scriptures together, we recognize that God speaks to us through them as individuals |

| 2:21.9 | And his mourning was indicative of his reaction. Now we knew we know that it wasn't because the walls were broken down. |
| 2:31.9 | It really would be a little extreme to get that upset just because some of the stones had toppled over. |
| 2:37.9 | It surely was because of what was represented in the destruction of the walls, namely that God's glory, which was to be established in Jerusalem, |
| 2:46.9 | was really being dragged under the dust into the dust of the Judean hillside, and that was his reaction to it. |
| 2:52.9 | It was a reaction which marked him out from others who seemed to have grown acquiescent to the state of affairs. |
