Nehemiah 1 | Nehemiah heard the situation in Jerusalem, and it wasn't

good.  The people were in great trouble and shame.  The walls were broken

down and the gates burned.  These words reporting the broken state of

Jerusalem laid a burden on Nehemiah that led to days of weeping, mourning,

fasting, and prayer.  Fortunately for us, we have his prayer recorded for

us.  This week we will turn to his prayer to learn what it looks like to

pray when we are burdened for what's broken.
