Sometimes when we have needs, we hesitate to ask the right people for help because we are afraid to ask. But not Nehemiah.

In Nehemiah 2, he went directly to the person (King Artaxerxes) who could help him the most. Don’t be reluctant to ask those who are most able to help. We may not realize but they may be more interested in helping than you think.

God’s answers to prayers may come because of our asking others.
