Still Scared?

"I was overwhelmed with fear and replied to the king, 'May the king
live forever! Why should I not be sad when the city where my
ancestors are buried lies in ruins and its gates have been destroyed
by fire?'
"Then the king asked me, 'What is your request?'
"So I prayed to the God of heaven and answered the king..."
- Nehemiah 2:2-4

Notice that Nehemiah...

1. Was overwhelmed with fear.
2. Prayed to God.
3. Then answered the King.

He was so scared, but he had a greater fear/reverence for the Lord than he did for the King. When fear knocks, Lord, remind me to let prayer-inspired faith answer the door.
