Intro: Esther is a woman of strong faith and prayer. Today, we will learn some spiritual applications from the life of Esther.

1. God has a special plan for you. Esther became a queen, not by chance, but for the purpose of saving God’s people and for God’s glory (Esther 8:17).

2. A strong faith and decision following God’s will. Our faith should not be mixed with doubt (opposite) (James 1:6). Faith is the only virtue we can please our God (Heb 12:6). The words of Esther “If I perish, I perish” is a strong faith and decision for saving God’s people.

3.  We should always pray on our plan and decision. Our prayer is an evidence of trusting God; submitting/surrendering to God; and seeking God’s will and guidance.

4. The outcome of faith and prayer is victory and God’s glory.

Conclusion: God has the best plan for us with a purpose of God’s glory. Even when, it seems things are not going good, God has the best plan for us..If we faithfully pray to God even in times of hardship, the ultimate result will be good. It will produce victory and God’s glory! Amen!
