The Most Powerful Question You Are Probably Not Asking As A Christian

When believing gets hard, prayer can be one of the first things we throw out the window. Sometimes we don’t want to pray to God, because it just hurts too much. It feels much easier to be resentful and stay stuck in our doubt. Choosing to continue to hope has to be a deliberate decision. We have to decide to be vulnerable when our hearts are in this state.

Tell Esther, “Don’t be fooled. Just because you are living inside the king’s palace doesn’t mean that you out of all of the Jews will escape the carnage. You must go before your king. [14] If you stay silent during this time, deliverance for the Jews will come from somewhere, but you, my child, and all of your father’s family will die. And who knows? Perhaps you have been made queen for such a time as this.”

Esther 4:13-14 Voice

Esther was an amazing woman who learned how to find hope in God while in a very difficult circumstance. She endured the fear of physical danger, the pressure to save lives, and the pain-filled sacrifice for a greater purpose. She was able to endure because she asked one question. Check out our video to find out what that question is and what we can learn from Esther to help us find hope when believing gets too hard.

Tell Mordecai, [16] “In preparation for my audience with the king, do this: gather together all the Jews in Susa, and fast and pray for me. Intercede for me. For three days and nights, abstain from all food and drink. My maids and I will join you in this time. And after the three days, I will go in to the king and plead my people’s case, even though it means breaking the law. And if I die, then I die!” [17] Mordecai left the king’s gate and put all of Esther’s instructions into action.
