Nehemiah's swift prayer

Neh 2:4 is the shortest prayer ever found in Nehemiah's ministry.Altogether there are ten prayers in the book of Nehemiah (1:4-11,2:4,4:4-5,5:19,6:9b,14,13:14,22,29,31)

I focused this morning on 2:4. It's the shortest one.

4 characteristics arise of this prayer:

1. Transcend Space--- Towards the God of Heaven
2. Transcend Time --- After three-four months from the time of in-depth Nourishment
3. Transcend Words --- No sound here of his wordings before the King
4. Transcend Rituals --- Open eyes instead of closed eyes

I just studied essays from Rev. Joseph Tong on the theology of prayers.

It's good to reflect more on it as there are much confusion on the practice of prayers due to spirituality movements these days.
