Needing Others - Nehemiah 3

S - Nehemiah 3
O - This chapter in the Bible tracks the individuals that were responsible for rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.  One thing that I noticed was that it didn't just take one person to do the actual work but instead many, many people led by a handful of leaders.
A - When there is a large task in front of me, there are some times that I can do this task by myself, other times it will take many others to help me.  I need to look to God to have enough guidance and direction to know when is a time for me to do something alone and when I need others to help.  However, even when I may do something alone, I still need to remember the Proverbs that said "a wise man has many counselors".
P - God, I pray to you today to give me strength and courage and determination to complete the calling that you have placed on my life.  I look to you also for guidance and direction to know when to involve others to help me along in my journey.  I submit myself before you and lay down all of my preconceived ideas of how something should be done and I will follow you all the days of my life and do things the way that you say.  I have complete confidence that by me following Your will my actions will be blessed and I will be protected.  I love you Heavenly Father!  I praise you and thank you for all that you have done in my life and will continue to do.
