Nehemiah encounters a lot of opposition throughout the rebuilding of the wall and, while he deals with it seriously, he refuses to let it distract him or the others from the task God's given them. Whether it's physical threats, a letter writing campaign or hiring false prophets, Nehemiah's attitude is summed up nicely by verse 9 in chapter 6 - "Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. " Then he keeps working. Whatever it is that is opposing, Nehemiah prays and gets back to work, trusting God to deal with it.
