Unknown Fear and Sadness

​Nehemiah 2:1-2

Have you ever felt completely, utterly sad, and you weren’t sure why?  Or, you had a “feeling” about it, but still weren’t sure whether you should or not?  It might be that God is stirring your heart for His calling.  Nehemiah felt that same calling.  It was time to inquire of the Lord as to what that meant.

1. Do we often feel unsettled, sad, and unsure why the same way Nehemiah did?

2. Do we suffer through it, or do we ask God to help us understand what it might be?  

Challenge: There will be many times in our lives when, perhaps, the pain of our lives will make us sad, and we aren’t entirely sure why.  Rather than shutting it out, let’s talk honestly (and pray) with our Father, and question Him as to what it means.  He will have the answers for us, if we but listen to Him.
