Nehemiah is famous for his 'arrow prayer', but it was the culmination of four months of prayer. Nehemiah:
1. Confessed his and his people's sins.
2. Reminded God of his promises.
3. Was delighted to honour God.
Conclusion:
1. God had put the needs of his people on Nehemiah's heart.
2. Sometimes God puts us in a unique position to work for him.
3. Nehemiah appealed to God on the basis of his promises. It was why it was answered.
