Benefits of Prayer Nehemiah 1 is a blend of prayer and action. Prayer needs to be high on a leader's priority list. Why is prayer so important? 1. PRAYER MAKES ONE WAIT you cannot pray and work at the same time prayer forces us to leave the situation to God 2. PRAYER CLEARS ONE'S VISION a foggy morning is burned off by noon prayer clears so you can see through God's eyes 3. PRAYER QUIETS ONE'S HEART you cannot worry and pray at the same time knees don't knock when we kneel on them 4. PRAYER ACTIVATES ONE'S FAITH after praying one is more prone to trust God prayer sets faith on fire Prayer was the first major step Nehemiah took in his journey to effective leadership.
