Nehemiah 13:31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good. The Rev. Dr. Brock, of Bloomsbury, when about twenty-one years old (1828), and just out of his apprenticeship, left Devonshire for London. "He had not gone far from his home before he stopped, and sat down under a hedge, in a lane, and opening his Bible at the 13th chapter of Nehemiah, his eye fell upon the 31st verse: 'Remember me, O my God, for good.' Kneeling down upon his knees under that hedge, with his hand upon the passage, ha put up a fervent prayer that God would befriend him by remembering him for good in his metropolitan life. How strikingly was that prayer answered! Dr. Brock himself used to say, 'Who can tell how much of the success of my after-life may be traced back to that prayer?'".
