12 When they told Mordecai what Esther had said, 13 Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.
Prayer Focus: Mordecai responds to Esther’s message about the risk of approaching the king with a reminder that there is no place where she might escape the persecution of her people. I am reminded that hate, discrimination, and prejudice have no boundaries. It is tempting to believe that we can escape these things if we have the right job, live in the right neighborhood or community, or associate with the right kinds of people. And yet, “othering” happens everywhere. Pray for the blind spots in your life to the hate and discrimination faced by those in your social circles or workplaces. Pray that all might be lifted up instead of a few torn down.
