O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

The people were very  poor and could not pay their debts.
Therefore Nehemiah cancelled all debts owed by poor people.

Nehemiah was a just and kind leader.
He even used his own money to pay his expenses,
and never took the salary that he could have claimed.

Dear God,  to reduce government corruption in all countries,
please raise up more leaders like Nehemiah

How great is your name, O Lord our God,
through all the earth.

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,
the moon and stars which you have arranged,
then I stop and think:
what are we insignificant humans that you should care about us?

Yet you have put us in charge of the world.
Everything is subject to our control.

How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth

It's your job to preach the behavior that goes with sound doctrine:

the older men should be reserved, dignified, moderate, sound in faith and love

The older women should be teachers of good behavior,
avoiding scandal mongering and too much wine.
They should be an example to the younger women in their love for their husbands and children

Younger men should be moderate, with yourself setting an example of sincerity for them

Slaves should be obedient to their masters, and avoid petty thieving 

Jesus,  help me be a good person, a good Christian

Jesus said to the apostle Peter "Satan has got his wish to attack you.
But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail.
Once you have recovered from Satan's attack, you in your turn must give strength to others"

Peter said "Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you and to die with you"

Jesus replied "Peter, before the rooster crows,  you will  deny three times that you know me"

Jesus, please strengthen my faith. Please strengthen my faith
