Praying for Our Neighboursਨਮੂਨਾ

The people of Israel were in a difficult situation and queen Esther asked them to pray and fast while she prepared herself to speak with the king. This could cost Esther her life as the Persian law said that no one could approach the king without his invitation. Queen Esther was courageous, and God blessed her with favour from the king. Haman wanted to destroy all the Israelite people, but God heard their prayers and saved them. Jewish families still celebrate this at the festival of Purim.
Discuss:
• What challenges do you see in your community?
• How can you pray for these challenges?
Prayer:
Get an empty jar or box. Decorate it in a way you like. Then, write down on small papers (groups of) people in your community you can pray for (for example, the names of your teachers, your pastor and his family, your friends, and community leaders). Put them in the jar, take one paper a day, and pray for these people as a family.
