Heavenly Father, thank You for the courage of Nehemiah who purposed in his heart to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and refused to be intimidated by those that despised Your name. Thank You for the witness of Ezra the scribe, whom You used to reignite the moral and spiritual fire in the hearts of Israel during this difficult time in their history. Lord, I pray that I may be filled with the same courage and dedication as these two men of God. Kindle the flame of pure celestial fire in my heart with an inextinguishable blaze. I pray that Your perfect will would be done and that my life would be a living sacrifice that honours Your name, for Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
