Our verse of reference in Nehemiah 4 is:
“But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.” (Nehemiah 4:20 NIV).
Reflection
To depend more on God.- God allows trials to occur in all areas of our life, He looks after us and wait for us to seek His divine direction and support. Tests that have no human solution, strengthen our faith and give us absolute confidence that God is able to help us. When we pass through the valley of the shadow of death, remember these words: However great the attack of Satan and his agents may be, God is victorious and his power can sustain us. Our answer by faith should be the same given by Nehemiah: “Our God will fight for us,” because God is in charge of the work and no one can prevent us from reaching the ultimate success if we are with God.

Prayer
God of wonders. Thanks for the trials that you allow into our lives. May they bring us closer to the throne of your grace and make us more dependent on you. Help us find solution for our problems, nothing is impossible for you, we put everything in your hands. In the name of Jesus, amen.
