The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, in the book of Esther, Your name is never once spoken, yet Your hand turns every page. A death decree had gone out. Haman had set the day for destruction. Esther was queen, but approaching the king could cost her life. She fasted. She prepared. She went. You were in all of it. Make me an Esther in the moment I am uniquely positioned to act for Your people. The risk may be real. The outcome may be uncertain. But the step of faith is mine to take. I will go. Amen.
