Ester 5:1

The tensions that arise between people at work can break important relationships, hurt your career, and ruin your ability to share your Christian faith with coworkers. This plan uses Esther’s example to teach you a healthy approach to addressing workplace conflict and even turn it into an influence booster.

Everyone faces adversity at work — criticism, difficult people, hard decisions. Drawing on Esther's story, this plan offers a simple way to respond: pause instead of reacting, pray for wisdom, and take Spirit-led action. Each day builds the habit of turning to God first, trusting Him through uncertainty, and giving Him the credit when adversity turns to victory.

Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come! Though God never promised us a life without trials, he does promise to be with us as we walk through them. In this 5-day plan, you'll learn to trust that God can redeem your struggles for a mighty purpose.

These five daily devotions are based on Lynn Cowell's and Amy Carroll's book, Esther: Seeing Our Invisible God in an Uncertain World. Though she lived centuries ago, Esther speaks to us when we run into limited control and resources. We find in her a strength and fortitude you and I need today. A strength we discover as we follow her process of listen, feel, do, and speak.
