But youre not alone.

Although Nehemiah lived more than two thousand years ago, he would have understood what youre going through.

He dealt with brokenness, weakness, and powerlessness in the face of his circumstances.

His heart was broken over unfulfilled dreams.

He is a role model for the challenges you face because he endured so much, yet he obeyed God and fulfilled Gods purposes for his life.

His life reminds us that we often do not choose the circumstances God allows in our lives, but we can learn to make the best of them.

As you study portions of Nehemiah and the armor of God, youll learn to apply principles from these passages to help you reclaim and rebuild your relationship with a sexually broken family member or friend.
