Aside from my personal time in the word in 2 Peter, I’m working through Nehemiah with Mars Hill in Seattle. Mark Driscoll preached through this book back in early 2007 and right now, I’m reaping so much blessing from his teaching.
I just listened to the sermon on Nehemiah 1:11-2:8, titled “Prayer and Planning.” As a natural planner, I was convicted on how little I pray when facing a small or large task. I so badly want to grow in this part of my life. I want to take my plans before the Lord and see if what I have on my mind is what is on God’s heart. I want to lead out in prayer and take action with my plans, trusting that God is leading me and that I am in obedience to him. Plans without prayer are useless; prayer without plans is faithless. I want to walk in the Holy Spirit so that I can do both to the glory of God.
You can watch the sermon here. Enjoy it. Be edified.
