Nehemiah

This morning I was reading about Nehemiah (I've just started studying him) and he was a leader who saw a need and was impacted by it and passionate about it. Who sought the Lord but also had a plan. Who waited for God's perfect timing but acted in boldnes when the time came. Who was afraid and opposed, but trusted God anyways. Who motivated people and led by action.
I want to be like him. I don't want to just dream of and hope for big things, but want to trust the Lord for them. To have a plan and in boldness and action in his timing and blessing inspire others in them. Please pray that I will do this, specifically in the area of prayer here.
