The wrecking ball of progress

The wrecking ball of progress

Nehemiah 1:3

And they said unto me,

The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction [great physical or mental distress] and reproach: [feel ashamed or embarrassed]

the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, [no longer any ability left to resist destructive attacks – left defenseless]

and its gates [the ways in and out]

have been burned with fire. [a method of psychological warfare used to stir up fear and chaos that there is no way out]

Pray the Word:
Lord, in that time when we feel hopeless . . . . fearful that we are now defenseless against the undo distress we are experiencing and there is no way out - You let the wrecking ball take down our walls in order for our life to be rebuilt even stronger. Knowing this, I give to You all that is in ruins and ask that You lead me in paths of healing and usefulness to rebuild me into the person You want me.
