We trace Nehemiah’s journaled prayer from praise to yielding and show how this pattern brings clarity and courage for big decisions. Betsy shares her own yearlong discernment and invites prayer requests as we practice asking God for favor and walking in step with his promises.

• praise that reframes fear and centers on God’s character
• confession that owns sin and breaks shame
• remembering God’s promises that fuel resilient hope
• asking boldly for specific favor and next steps
• yielding control while acting in faith
• Nehemiah’s role as cupbearer and timely influence
• praying together for endurance and open doors

Is there something that I could be praying for in your life? You can use the text link through the podcast notes, or if you're watching, you can leave a note below. And I will pray.
