Read Nehemiah 9.
- How had God provided for His people?
- How did the Israelites respond to God?
- What does this prayer tell us about the nature of the Israelites? Of God?
- How would you feel if you went to God, reminded Him of all the times you and your people had failed Him, and asked for one more chance?
- What cycles of grace and disobedience do we get caught in like the Israelites did?
- When have you been caught in a cycle of learning and relearning the same lesson over and over again? What memories do you have of God’s care even during those times?
- Having read the Israelites’ prayer, what would you like to say to God?
