At some point, we will all deal with it. Some feel the weight of it daily. For some it comes from others, for some it comes from themselves. How do we respond when we feel the weight of discouragement and hear the mockery of our enemies? What do we do when we feel overwhelmed and overmatched? When we are tempted to believe that the task is too big or our abilities to meager, we can look at Nehemiah’s response as a pattern to follow. What does Nehemiah do? He prays, commits it all to God, and then simply gets back to work.
