Heavenly Father, thank You for the many lessons I can learn from the little book of Esther and the many ungodly actions and attitudes that it exposes. Give me discernment to recognise those that seek to manipulate others through deceit and lies. Keep me from the destructive lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and pride. Help me eschew the evil and seek only to do that which is righteous in Your eyes. Lead me in the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
