We should pray about our problems

Yesterday Dave and I taught Sunday School for second-graders. Our lesson was on Nehemiah. Nehemiah learned that things were not going well in Jerusalem for the Jews who returned there from exile in Babylon. That was very sad news for him: "That was very bad news for me! I sat down and cried. I cried and cried. I was very sad. I stopped eating. I prayed to God" (Nehemiah 1:4, The B-I-B-L-E). The important lesson is that Nehemiah prayed about his problems. He prayed a lot. And that is what we should do too!
