Reading: Nehemiah 1

Longing - “I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God” (vs. 5)

Reflection: Every soul has an ache that creates an internal crisis that longs for a life that moves beyond survival or pleasure-seeking to a life that has eternal significance.

Prayer: “Abba, my soul is empty and weighed down with apathy until I rise above the mundane routines of life and find my purpose from You.”
