Mordecai

In this powerful exploration of intercessory prayer, we delve into the story of Mordecai from the book of Esther. Mordecai's courageous plea to Esther on behalf of the Jewish people serves as a compelling model for our own prayer lives. We're challenged to move beyond passive, self-focused prayers and embrace the urgency and desperation of true intercession. Just as Mordecai recognized Esther's unique position to save her people, we're reminded that we too have been placed in our current circumstances 'for such a time as this.' This message encourages us to bring others before God with the same fervor and specificity that Mordecai displayed, naming individuals and their needs in prayer. As we reflect on this teaching, we're invited to consider who in our lives needs our fervent intercession and how we can step into this vital aspect of our faith journey.
