Heartfelt Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the reminder that You are always working, even when we cannot see it. Your justice is perfect, and Your timing is never late. Like Esther and Mordecai, help me to trust You in difficult moments and to act with courage and faith. Thank You for turning what was meant for harm into deliverance, for humbling the proud, and for protecting Your people. Teach me to celebrate and remember Your faithfulness every day of my life. Use me, Lord, to reflect Your grace and mercy to others.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
