Esther 2 - Favor with the King

Esther 6 - The King on Your Side

In this episode of guided prayer, we thank God for this picture in Esther 6 of what it's like to have the King on your side. We lay down all our best self-defense tactics, because we can trust that the King of Kings has already decided He delights to honor us, and that cannot be undone by any whisperings of our enemy.

Esther 5 - Confident Petitions

In today's episode of guided prayer from Esther 5, we step into the invitation of the King to present our petitions to him. We are reminded that He is eager to hear what we need, and eager to give it, because He is well pleased with us. We can commune with him at the table, unrushed and unpanicked, because we are confident of his love for us.

Esther 4 - A Royal Position

In today's episode, we find ourselves in this pivotal moment in the Esther story, where the destruction of the Jews is imminent, and Mordecai calls on Esther to use her influence with the King to change history. We recognize we too have been given a royal position through the blood of Jesus, to be a great intercessor for the world around us. Lord, help us recognize these pivotal moments, when you want to partner with us to bring heaven to earth through our lives.

Esther 3 - Hope in the Face of Finality

In this episode we find ourselves right in the middle of Esther's story, where the enemy seems to be winning in his plans against God's people, and the even the king sends the edict and seals it with his signet ring. We see that even when situations look darkest and so full of despair, God is working. We invite him in to those places in our lives that have also looked very final, like a total loss, and look to his supreme authority to turn everything around.

Esther 2 - Favor with the King

In today's episode we peer into Esther's story where she is chosen to by the King to be queen because of the favor she has with him. Where we see a story of women competing and striving to be summoned by the King, we offer our gratitude for the way of Grace that Jesus paved for us. That we have been chosen to rule and reign with the King, not because of anything we have done, but because we have been covered by the suffering love of the Son. Our acceptance has been eternally decided.
