📚 Historical Context

Nehemiah was a Jewish official serving in the Persian court around 445 BC when he learned that Jerusalem's walls were still in ruins after the exile. He's praying and fasting, appealing to God to help him rebuild the city by reminding God of His past faithfulness to Israel. This prayer comes as Nehemiah prepares to ask the Persian king for permission to return to Jerusalem.
