Believers sometimes struggle to understand the book of Nehemiah because of its “dark nature”. In a nutshell, Nehemiah is about rebuilding the city walls of Jerusalem that were torn down with the invasion of the Babylonians, just before the exile. The restored walls had symbolic value for the Israelites. It brought physical protection against hostile intrusion, but it was above all a sign of faith restoration and unity. After all, God originally singled out the Israelites as a model to follow for all the gentiles around them.
I hear Christians so often refer to them praying with a need in mind, but their prayers are not answered. It causes them to lose heart, and unfortunately many also lose their faith in the process! The biggest mistake Christians make is to forget that God also expects us to take action as we continue to enter into prayer with Him. Nehemiah was prayer- as well as action-driven.
