More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."

Praying Scripture #7 -- Nehemiah 1 -- "Travailing Prayer"
Nehemiah is experiencing a great life, great success, influence and power in Susa, but then one day he gets a report of the difficult, discourarging, even tragic circumstances in Jesusalem and God places a holy discontent in his heart. So it says in vs 4, that Nehemiah sat down and wept. He mourned, fasted and prayed to the God of heaven. This is travailing prayer. Travailing prayer is a painful, passionate pushing in order to see something new come to life.
It requires a posture of brokenness, where we realize that the very best thing we have to bring to the table is our desperate dependancy on God. I think God is looking today for people who will pray like that!
