Old Testament Prayers
Nehemiah's Prayer
Remember Me, O My God
Description
Upon hearing of Jerusalem's broken walls, Nehemiah fasted and prayed—confessing Israel's sins, reminding God of His promises, and asking for favor with the Persian king to rebuild the city.
Key Verses
And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant... O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant.
