Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her…”
(Esther 5:1-2)

Help me follow Esther’s example, Jesus.

Before You required her to break the rules and ask for an exception

she followed Your rules religiously

planting the good seed
one day she would need to reap.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Queen Esther…reported it …giving credit to Mordecai.”
(Esther 2:22)

Esther could have taken the credit, Jesus.

That’s what a lot of people do.

Instead, she told the truth:

She hadn’t discovered the plot against the king’s life.
It was Mordecai who found out.

So why didn’t she take the credit for herself?

Because she wanted Mordecai to get the credit!
She loved him.

If I love those who help me in more ways than I can count

I’ll follow suit.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.”
(Esther 2:17)

Interesting, Jesus.

You needed Esther on the throne to save Your people.
Vashti had to go.

You could have killed Vashti.

Instead, You let her take a moral stand

which she took and lost her throne
while keeping her dignity.

Was Vashti grateful?

Probably no more than I am when You do me a kindness
and I, heartbroken, view it as punishment.
