Esther’s Legacy: Embracing Your Role in God’s Sovereign Planਨਮੂਨਾ

Day 3: The Power of Prayer and Fasting

Scripture Reference:
Esther 4:16 - “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do.”

Devotional:
Before approaching King Xerxes with her request for mercy for her people, Esther called upon prayer and fasting as a means of seeking divine intervention. This act signifies deep reliance on God’s power rather than her own strength or influence as queen.

Prayer and fasting serve as powerful tools for spiritual clarity and strength during times of crisis. They allow us to align our hearts with God’s will while seeking guidance through difficult decisions. As we engage in prayerful reflection about our own lives, we can discern how God might be calling us into action.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, teach me the importance of prayer and fasting as I seek Your guidance in my life’s journey. Help me focus on You during times of uncertainty so that I may hear Your voice clearly and respond accordingly when You call me into action. Amen.
