Today's Verse

"Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are under the farthest skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place at which I have chosen to establish my name.'" Nehemiah 1:8-9

This was part of Nehemiah's prayer for his people after he received the news about the broken walls of Jerusalem. He said to God "Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses." Nehemiah was not reminding God of His command, but he acknowledged God's word and wanted to submit to God's conditions so that his petitions would be granted. Nehemiah displayed a perfect example on how to pray. When we pray, we should acknowledge God's terms and conditions and submit to them. This reminds us that prayer is not just asking God what we want, but at the same time it is seeking God's will and it is God's will that should be done. So let us pray according to His terms. - Commentary by: Jeremy B. Trio
