Jese's comment on 2013-10-21 13:47:00:

Nehemiah was in a very dangerous situation when asking his King to rebuild his city wall. He was asking the king to rebuild the kings enemy's city.
But the beauty of all this lies in his exaltation of God in prayer.He submitted his worry to the Lord and God answered.
