As Nehemiah prayed he not only exalted the greatness of God, but he prayed the promises of God. He remembers the promises given by God to Moses, His servant, and prays accordingly so that he and the other exiled people could go back to their homeland. Part of our prayer times should involve claiming, trusting and speaking out the promises that God has given us. And, there are plenty of them in His Word!

Faith is always strengthened when we quote the promises of God in response to the attacks we face. Sadly, we tend to speak more about our problems than about God’s great promises! Satan hates the Word of God, and he will surely flee when we resist him with God’s promises.

Speak out the promises of God boldly to your situation.

Read Nehemiah 1:8-10
