Praying Through the Book of Esther: Part 3
Manage episode 328657372 series 3320163
We often think that last week’s verses –Esther’s decision–are the highlight of the action in this book–the main event. It’s certainly the part that we remember and talk about most often. But, this week’s chapters have as much drama as any Hollywood movie and a big dose of poetic justice.
Personal Update
A conversation over a congratulatory dinner out reminded me just how important our words are.
About Prayer
Boredom and a lack of focus are often listed as common struggles in our modern-day prayer lives. While it’s true that culturally, we’re losing the ability to focus, maybe if we don’t treat our prayer life as a laundry list of requests, we can bypass some of those issues. We talk about another way to think about our prayer life today.
