NEHEMIAH CONFESSED HIS SINS AND THE SINS OF OUR FOREFATHERS

Nehemiah 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words that I sat down and wept and mourned certain days and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven

Nehemiah 1:5 And said, I beseech you, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

Nehemiah 1:6 Let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open that you may hear the prayer of your servant which I pray before you now day and night for the children of Israel your servants and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against you: both I and my father's house have sinned.
