15 Then Esther said in reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. After that I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” 17 Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.
Prayer Focus: Throughout this book we discover that Esther does not make decisions impulsively. Hearing Mordecai’s counsel, she asks that all the Jews might hold a fast and pray for her. After that, with her community’s care and support, she will go to the king. She understands the risk to her life and, with her community’s care and support, she will act. Pray for those who are called to act on your behalf today. Give thanks for those who pray for you.
