Nehemiah 9

A prayer. Most of the prayer is actually just the history of God and the Israelites. They did that a lot, and today it finally hit me why. They were praising God for His faithfulness in the past, and also through that reassuring themselves that He would keep His promises by looking at all the times He did so in the past.

Then I started thinking about how I don't really do that when I pray. I mean, sometimes I'll pray about a Bible verse I just read, or I'll pray about Jesus or mention that God created the world or are love or something. Is that the same thing? There is something good about reminding yourself of God's goodness and past actions. Should I do it? Yes, I think I will try it out.
