Just because you have a passion doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s time to change the future. But it does mean that it’s time to start praying and planning. Nehemiah had a broken heart and a conviction that something must be done for the city of Jerusalem and for God’s glory, but he didn’t do anything until he had spent three months in prayer and planning, waiting for the right opportunity to move forward with his vision. Prayer helped him to recognize the small opening he had to move forward, and it gave him the boldness to take it.
