The story of Esther in the Bible is often summarized in one memorable line: “for such a time as this.” But Michelle Treacy helps us look deeper. Esther wasn’t just given a moment—she was given a choice. A choice to step into God’s plan… or step aside.

Tonight’s prayer and reflection challenges us to do the same:

• What if God placed you here in this exact moment to partner with Him in bringing justice, healing, or hope?

• What if the weight you carry is actually the nudge of a holy calling, awakening your heart to something bigger than yourself?

• What if your ordinary day carries eternal purpose?

God may not need us to act—but He wants us to. He desires to partner with His people to bring His kingdom to earth in small, bold, and beautiful ways. Let this reminder stir your soul before sleep: You’re here for a reason. And God may be whispering your name for something greater.

Esther 4:14 (NIV)

“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Father God,
When I am lost and angry at the things that go on in my world, remind me that I am your child, and the same power that raised you from the dead lives in me. Remind me that I am alive and well for this time, in this season, to partner with You in seeing justice reign and a little of heaven come to earth.
Help me to be brave. Help me to be bold. Let me be compassionate like You, Jesus, and see people as You do.
Holy Spirit, as I rest my head tonight, open the eyes of my heart. Give me holy dreams. Show me the next step You want me to take.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon

1. Your hardest seasons may be your most valuable lessons.
   What has God shown you in your suffering that might become wisdom for someone else?

2. Is there a cause you can’t shake from your spirit?
   Maybe that unrest is holy. Maybe it’s the spark of your purpose igniting.

3. What if you started dreaming with God again?
   Imagine what your life—and the lives around you—could become if you let Him lead you fully.
