When Nehemiah heard the condition of God's city and people that were back in Jerusalem it broke his heart. He was in captivity under the Persians. He was the cupbearer for the King.
"I sat and wept and mourned ,praying and fasted for many days." He wrote a journal or a blog and now we read it and observe God involved in the lives of people.
You can click on many audio Bible sites and read and hear the Prayer in Nehemiah chapter one.
His praying consisted of :
1.Praise
2. Reviewing God's Word
3. Confession
4. interceding for others
5. Asking
This prayer was the trampoline that moved him to action. Nehemiah prayed for a miracle for his people that had returned to Jerusalem. He was to be the miracle and the answer to his and the prayers of many.
Pray, watching and believing. See God do extraordinary things, using ordinary people. We can converse with God not out of obligation but in a loving, powerful relationship.
"Call to me, and I will show you great and mighty things you know not of." Jeremiah 33:3.
