Teaching The king holds out his golden scepter

When we have something hard and brave to do, we can pray, trust God, and step forward - and God gives us courage and favor.

  • Esther was scared, but she prayed and stepped forward bravely. What helps you be brave when you have something hard to do?
  • Esther and her people prayed and fasted first. Why is it good to pray before doing something hard?
  • God gave Esther favor with the king. How have you seen God help things go well when you trusted Him?
