Explanation:

The story of the request of Nehemiah to Artaxerxes' King of Persia is recorded in the second chapter of the book of Nehemiah. The first verse of the chapter reads;

"And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him: and I took up the wine, and gave [it] unto the king. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad in his presence." Nehemiah 2:1

Nehemiah was the cup bearer of the King Artaxerxes' who reigned from 464 – 424 B.C.

Nehemiah was depressed after he was informed of the deplorable state of Jerusalem and its walls. His depression caught the attention of the King who asked him what the matter was. Nehemiah uttered a short prayer in his heart and told the king that his sorrow was connected to the state of Jerusalem, the city of God.

The King then gave him permission to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild it. He also commanded officials of his kingdom to provide Nehemiah with materials for the massive project.

This story shows us that God deeply loves his people and does not abandon them irrespective of their sins. His anger does not last forever but His loving kindness is always towards those whom He has called as His own.
