Help Me, God, to Have Faith Like Esther

Help me, God, to have faith like Esther—to step into the unknown, placing all my trust in You. Esther was on the inside, and she believed she was there for a purpose. God, please help me fulfill my purpose in this life. Fill the empty places within me with Your Word, and satisfy my heart with Your love.

Holy Spirit, Spirit of God, guide me and lead me to where I need to be. If that place requires me to stand on the outside looking in, then I pray for faith like Mordecai and the Jews—who had no idea what was happening inside the king’s courts. All they knew was that a death sentence had been placed upon them.

Father God, they didn’t run or hide. Mordecai even wept openly in the streets. But they never gave up on You—and You never gave up on them.

Holy Spirit, help me to have faith like them. Help me to live in uncertainty and still trust You, because when You are on my side, God, we are victorious!

In Jesus name, Amen.
