God takes great delight in using us to answer our own prayers. I think this teaches that prayer is often like that old saying. You can give a person a fish and feed them for a day, or you can teach them to fish and you have given them not just food for a life time, but you have given them meaning, purpose, hope, resilience, joy, you have given them a story. Zero to hero, that’s Nehemiah.
