Pursuing God with Gene Appel
Episode 1161: 21 Days of Prayer, Day 18
Nehemiah’s story reminds us that God’s work moves forward when everyone joins in. No one rebuilt the wall alone, and no one’s role was too small. Priests, goldsmiths, merchants, and families all cooperated to make the vision a reality. Today, ask God to show you where you can contribute, even if you feel unqualified. Pray for a heart that values unity and for the courage to do your part in rebuilding lives.
Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
