The first is the one formed in verses Nehemiah 1:1-4, in which he himself feels a deep sadness; and the second Nehemiah 1:5-11, when he turns to the Lord to find the solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two stages are also very present in our lives when a misfortune occurs. The first, mourning, is experienced by almost all people, whether they are Christians or not. The most important part is the second part: <\/span><b>to remember God<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in difficulty and show him all our faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone is capable of it, not even the most believing people in the world. However, this <\/span><b>is the goal to achieve <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When sorrow invades you, seek the Lord with your heart and tell him that you love him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lord can be sought in many ways, whether by reading the Scriptures, praying, attending religious services or <\/span><b>helping the community<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. What is certain is that if you look for it you will find it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Lord is always attentive to the requests we make of Him and, as He says in <\/span><b>Nehemiah 1:9 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if we turn to Him, He will gather us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last verse to highlight is <\/span><b>Nehemiah 1:11 <\/b>w<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hich you can use to start a prayer. In the case of the chapter, Nehemiah uses it to beg God for his help for when he talks to the Persian king and asks him to go to Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nehemiah_1_in_English_and_large_print\"><\/span><b>Nehemiah 1 in English and large print<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete your introduction to the text with the complete chapter in English and large print taken from the Bible King James Version.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0It&#8217;s always nice to be able to go back to the text to remember the exact words, so we&#8217;ll leave it here for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Nehemiah&#8217;s prayer over Jerusalem<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah.

In a prayer he expresses his willingness to rebuild <\/span><b>the walls of Jerusalem<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and renew a Jewish society that had suffered greatly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, his life was dedicated to it. Nehemiah traveled to Israel and set out to rebuild the city walls, leading a group of fellow citizens who were loyal to him. It was not an easy task, since some of the enemies <\/span><b>wanted to prevent it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at all costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, Nehemiah was one of the last leaders of the Jewish people in the Old Testament, in a <\/span><b>rather dark time when their religion, and<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when their religion, and therefore ours, were about to disappear, being saved by the arrival of Jesus on Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_of_Nehemiah\"><\/span><b>Book of Nehemiah<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a general look at the book to which today&#8217;s chapter belongs, we will see what the Book of Nehemiah consists of, what its importance is and all the characteristics that make it <\/span><b>a unique work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and worthy of belonging to the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will find Nehemiah at the end of the Old Testament, along with the other historical books and just behind Ezra. In fact, there is an intimate relationship between the books of <\/span><b>Ezra and Nehemiah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Formerly, they were a single volume, since they narrate consecutive historical periods that can almost be explained without discontinuity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focusing on this book now, its format is mostly a memoir, but it is also <\/span><b>a memoir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> written by Nehemiah himself at the end of his days. However, between chapters 8 and 12, the chronological narrative is interrupted by Ezra&#8217;s reading of the Law of Moses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts consider a great historical value <\/span><b>great historical value<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to this book, apart from the great spiritual value it already has in itself. Nehemiah is said to be a reliable source of information and a book with which to study the history of that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To better understand the content of Nehemiah, we leave you with a <\/span><b>video summary,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> very good and short enough that you will definitely like it.
