Esther
Today is a big day for our Beth. After many weeks of studying and researching for Esther, today she will take on the vital task of writing the outline for the Bible study and video lessons. Everything in the study stems from this outline. Please pray for Beth today and ask God to give her His thoughts, creativity, organization, and vision for this project. She will also work on it tomorrow and Monday, but today is the most important day. Thanks, siestas!

I'll be praying!
thanks Amanda for asking us to do so....I'm praying for the same inspiration and creativity that carried Esther to and through her destiny....for such a time as this. Praise Him!
Beth,
May the Lord be in everything you write today. May He give you divine wisdom, insight, and understanding to all that you have so diligently spent so much time on. I pray His grace in this time so that you feel as though you accomplished all that he had for this day. Be encouraged and Lord I ask that you be glorified in it all!! Than kyou for Esther and the things you have to speak tou s today through her life and commitment to you. AMEN
In His Love~
Charlotte
Beth,
I am keeping you close in prayer today as you follow God's lead in your writing and planning. You have and continue to be such a steadfast servant of our Lord. God be with you today as you listen and follow His will.

I prayed for Beth this morning. I will defintely pray for her again, and pray specifically for her writing. May God's vision be abundantly clear with the outline and with all the lessons. You are such a blessing and it is always an honor to pray for you! I have also prayed for your conference this weekend and all those involved! May God's peace flood your heart and mind today!!
Love,
Patty
According to Hitchcock’s Bible Names, Esther’s name means “hidden or secret”. Several other Persian definitions seem to concur that it means “star.” Whichever, my prayer is for you, Beth, to behold the anointing Holy Spirit of all wisdom and truth, and unlock the secrets of this star of the Old Testament, and reveal our own magnificent purpose to be a star in a dark world “for such a time as this!” Prayers and blessings this week especially as you prioritize the beautiful and sure-to-be my next favorite study of yours. Love, A
Our kids choir just finished our Spring Musical: Esther-Ordinary Faith!!! WOW - Esther is fresh on my mind. I will be praying big-time for Beth today. Can't wait for the Bible Study.
By the way - I am just finishing Daniel. Did Beth get the outline off of her hard-wood floor?????
Miss Beth,
I pray for the the prayer that one of my most-beloved bible teachers at my church often prays when he is about to create a lesson, teach, preach, or anything where his intention is to lead people. He prays, "Lord, allow me to get out of the way and allow your Holy Spirit to lead."
So my prayer for you today, Miss Beth, is "Lord, please help Beth get out of the way, and by that I mean any part of her that would be self-focused, or self-righteous or opinionated against truth, and allow your Holy Spirit to so fill and guide her that she can be a vessel for your Truth, and lead women to a deeper understanding of It. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
-Nicole Mueller
What a privilege to pray for this long awaited study! Giving thanks for all you do on behalf of our Boss.
PRAISE GOD! LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU BOTH.
What a priviledge to be in prayer for her today.
I always recognize the Holy Spirit's orhcestration upon the pages of the Bible studies your mom writes.
I will pray for each page to shine for Jesus and be the lifter of our heads in Jesus Name!
Yes, I will lift her up in prayer. Thanks for giving us this blessing of praying.
"FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS"
I can't wait for this study to come out! I know God is going to do amazing things! He always does! I will be praying hard for your Mom! Emmy : )
Sweet Beth - Our Teacher -
Our prayer for you:
May God envelope you in his presence!!
Often my kids ask - why do we need to learn history?? I tell them it is to learn from other's courage and their mistakes.
Dig deep into Esther and let her history and God's wisdom teach our hearts!!
Terry from Tucson
I will be praying and anticipating experiencing what God inspires her to say on the videos!
Beth,
I already had you on my mind this weekend because I thought that I had read this was coming up. We were traveling and I took the time to read through the entire book of Esther and thought about the impact that study will have on millions (can you believe that???) of women across the world.
Just had this thought occur to me -- I have heard you say many times that you never really prayed for God to enlarge your borders. And yet He has proven faithful and reached countless souls through you. Once again His Word is proven true -- to those who are faithful with little He will bless abundantly!
Thank you for touching my life and everyone else who will forever be changed by studying His precious Word, following your lead!!
I'm praying -- don't turn to the right or the left. Keep your eyes squarely focused on Him and His Word -- IT WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE INTENDS FOR IT TO ACCOMPLISH!!
Blessings,
Dori
praying!

i will be praying. i am so excited for this study to be complete and in my hands... and for God to speak to me through it. i am so grateful for women with huge faith like your mom. she has inspired me to strive for a bigger walk with the Lord and her studies have increased my appetite for God's word.
PRAYING! So excited to be IN on the process by sending out some prayers for our sweet teacher.
Love in Him,
Holly
Dear God,
Please cover our sweet teacher, Beth, with the mind of Christ, give her extra strength of body, mind, and spirit. Fill her with Your love and tenderness. Help her do what only You can do through her. Guide her as she writes, and give her the words that You would have her to write, throughout this time of precious fellowship with You and bless her with a knowledge of Your Presence that she could almost "touch and feel" It, Lord Jesus. Teach her everything that she needs to know so that she may bless us with this teaching one day ... Shower her with an extra filling of Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. In Jesus' precious name I pray these things. Amen

will continue praying... knowing full well the Lord desires clarity, creativeness, and great care in handling His word, bringing all the glory to Himself.
Praying, everyday for Beth, her work, her call, her family and her protection from the enemy. Esther, prayed for!

Heavenly Father you have given my precious sister a gift to teach and to write Bible studies that inspire us and cause us to press on this race. I asked that today you would give her wisdom and knowledge to begin her latest endeavor with you. Lead her through your word today and guide her hands in writing. Let her be secure with the outcome and know that you have given the words. Touch her today and let her feel your presence and your anointing right there with her as she works. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Sure are praying for you Beth. Make sure you are not taking your siesta sista! No seriously will pray for you and then for the conference in Boone. Gosh do you ever slow down for a minute. See ya in Boone 2 more days.
Blessings Sarah - Prayer Warrior
I'll be praying for God to speak clearly to Beth about her outline and what she should focus on. Esther reads like a great novel and reminds me that I am at the place in life where God wants me to be "for such a time as this."
I can't wait to see what God does through your mom with this study!
I feel so blessed and honored to be asked to pray for my precious teacher, Beth. I've done so many of her studies and I know the outline is very important and is always so good. I think it's wonderful that we can pray for this specific need today for Beth....something we can do for her. Thank you for letting us know of the need.
Hey girls,
This doesn't neccessarily have to do specifically with Esther but I just came across a quote that I had to share with you because I love it. I was scrolling through some FAQ's on a website and after a good and thorough answer as to why a loving God would "send" people to hell, the final two sentences said this: "The gates of hell are locked from the inside. If you end up in hell, you will have had to practically climb over Jesus to get there." I am such a visual person and that is something that will be stuck in my brain forever! I thought it was pretty powerful. Y'all have a super day in the Lord and I'll be praying for the outline on Esther. May every word of it come directly from our God!
I am praying for you Beth! I know that God will guide your thoughts to a wonderful bible study that will touch lives across this nation! Thank you for all you do and I pray that God will inspire your thoughts and give you the words straight from His spirit.
Love Always
Anne Fruge, Little Rock, AR
I am so grateful for each study the Lord has given you Beth. Each one has enriched my life and my walk with the Lord. You've made me laugh and cry and love the word and the Lord more and more.
I can't tell you how excited I am about this new study. I just love Esther. I am going to stop and pray for you right now, and promise to continue to do so as you work through this study. I pray the Lord will give you wisdom, discernment, understanding, knowledge and grace for this work. I pray He will anoint and fill you and use you to write His words and His heart. Bless you Beth for your obedient, loving heart.
Dear Lord,
Give Beth a fresh annointing of your Holy Spirit. May she see all that You want this study on Esther to be. Give her insight for each lesson, quicken her spirit to know what You speak, bless her with wisdom to make this relevant for today's generation, deepen her love for Your holy word, enrich her soul with Your creativity, and give her Your peace to know when it is finished.
May it be a beacon for those of us who participate in the study. We want to see all that You would have us see, hear all that You would have us hear and be all that You would have us be.
In the name of your blessed son, Jesus - our One and Only!
Beth,
God has impressed upon me to pray these verses over you today.
He is faithful! I know He will do far more than we could ever hope or ask.
Love you, Siesta!
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Ephesians 3:16-21
OK Ladies......
Let's don't SLEEP on this one but take her to the Throne of our God!!!
I wanted to post that there are hotel rooms available for this coming Friday in Boone at the Days Inn Blowing Rock.
1-828-295-4422
I know it is difficult to find a hotel room nearby as they have been sold out for weeks. This is pretty close for those of you who are farther away, you might want to call. They told me they were 10-15 min away from the event.
Can't wait for Friday!!
Amanda if there is a more prominent place for this posting please feel free to move. I thought this might help some ladies.
My prayers are with Beth and everyone else involved in this. I am so excited about the study and since we were all praying for her round the clock while in Israel, I know this will be very timely. Lots of love to both of you-I'm excited about serving you by praying and then teaching this study! Love you!
I am so excited about this study. Thank you so much for making us aware of the timing and need for prayer at this important junction in the study. It's a more tangible way for us to be a part of the study now as we anticipate God's teaching us through it later.
Thanks!
May Beth unearth the jewels Jesus has for her study of Esther. Let the hearts and minds of women everywhere be stirred and many led to Christ through this Bible study. We thank God for Beth and for her tireless work to advance the kingdom of God.
Leah in Lake Havasu City, AZ
PS Amanda, has anyone ever told you that you are a dead ringer for the cheerleader in Heroes ("Save the cheerleader, save the world...")?
Thank you Amanda for the specific prayer request.....I love knowing exactly how I can be praying...
Dear Beth,
The Lord would say, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE of God, which surpasses all understanding, WILL guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7
Just as Israel defeated its enemies and inititated the feast of Purim to commemorate its deliverance, God is ALWAYS faithful to his people and upon God's faithfulness rests our whole hope of future blessedness. He will ever be true to His pledged word!!
Happy the man whose hopes rely on Israel's God!! Oh Hallelujah that Esther trusted and was faithful to her God.....and Oh Hallelujah Beth that you have trusted and been faithful to your God. I studied Esther all last year on my own and my mouth is just watering with anticipation of this study!!!!!!! I can't wait to devour it!!! Praying for you.......today, tomorrow and always......I soooo...look forward to hanging with all of you around Our Lord's table......oh the stories we will hear and share!!!!!!!! Love to you all!!!!!!!!
This was one of my favorite stories in the Bible from the time I was a little girl.
Esther is a powerful example of what God can do with a woman who is willing to put her life in His loving hands.
I am confident that God will be able to write through Beth---we know whose hands she is already in.
Thank you God for teaching us through Beth. Knock her socks off LORD.
Heavenly Father,
I stand in prayer with my sisters in Christ for Beth. I ask You to pour out Your message through her as she writes the study of Esther. Please give her every word and point for the outline. Continue to pour out Your anointing on her as she writes the study.
We thank You Father for this precious study that will lead us into deeper love and relationship with You and our Lord Jesus.
Please protect Beth, give her the time she needs as well as every other resource required for the study.
All this we pray in the mighty Name of Jesus.
Annette
You can count on me and my prayer warriors today and the days to come.
How exciting! Dear Lord I pray that you give our "siesta" a breath of fresh energy to write with, fresh eyes to see with, and a fresh spirit to hear you with. Give her the delicate treasures from your word and help her find the path you want to take her on. Keep her focused and strong. Thank you for giving her such a unique knowledge of your word. Through her, so many are blessed. Thank you Jesus, for this woman. Amen
The fact that Beth is writing another Bible study (after now writing 10?) just epitomizes Beth's and L.P.'s life verse - "God's word is alive and active!" God's word is so rich, and the river of life that runs through it is deep and wide! You never run out of material. You can never study it to completion! Isn't that amazing? That amazes me. Could you imagine a person studying some novel for 20+ years and writing 10 books on that novel? How boring. I doubt it would be a best-seller. I'd think, "didn't she write 9 other books on that novel?" Yet, the Bible continues to speak to us, change our hearts, and mold us into Christ's bride! How incredible. I will be excited to learn about Esther. I have never delved into that book before.
Also, thanks for coming to Abq despite the loss of your sweet daddy Beth. We loved having you and your praise team here. (I still smile thinking about the story you told about Travis's daughter putting pepperonis on her eyes while pretending "spa." Gosh, I laughed so hard.) I also took away truths from Phillipians 2 that have dramatically improved my relationship with my mom...or my mama, as you southerners say. :)
Affectionately,
Jessica
(mom of a 10 month old Brody who rivals Jackson in the cute department! :) ha ha. Those pictures of Jackson from last weekend were great. What a blessing. Isn't it amazing HOW MUCH you love your little guy? I am head over heels for my little sweet pea.)
Oh, I am so excited. I have just been captured and captivated by Queen Esther lately. I've been reading the book, "Hadassah" and my daughter gave me the movie "One Night with a King" for Mother's Day. I am so excited for the study to be coming out!
May the Lord be your pen! Prayers going up!
Absolutely! I was over at LifeWay trying to decide which study I wanted to do next...clicked the LPM link and bless my buttons - you guys have a blog! Fun, fun, fun!
Yes, I will pray right now...just as soon as I post this. May the glory be HIS forever and ever amen!
Dear Lord,
Please give Beth the awesome words for this study as you always so faithfully do. She has unlike anyone else on this earth spoke to my heart for you, Lord. She is such an inspiring person, her love for you is so great. I pray that you make my love for you just as strong. Thank you for giving us Beth. You have truly blessed us with her. Please give Beth the same strength that you must have also given to Ester. In your name Lord. Amen
Hello there,
I am currently adopting a girl from Rwanda named Esther and was on a new friend of mines (melissa) blog and there was a link to your blog. I am very curious about the Esther stuff and would be interested in seeing what you have about her. We are started a home in Rwanda called the esther home and this would be wonderful to have. Please email me at nclrymnd@yahoo.
I will pray for your success..
In kindness,
Nicole Raymond
Definitely praying for you Beth! And thanks for asking! I love Esther and I can't wait to see what the Lord reveals about her character and faith to Beth!
-your Texas siesta (boy I could really use one of those about now...) ;-)
For Our Beth:
Dear Jesus I pray that you will rule and reign in our Dear Sister's heart and mind today. Give her the divine wisdom and discernment that she needs to accomplish this task you have set before her. Remind her Father that you never call the equipped, you equip the called! Gird her up with strength and power against all forces of the enemy and anything he might use to thwart her mission. All the honor, and all the glory, and all the praise goes to YOU and YOU ALONE!! In Your Precious and Holy Name I humbly ask these things...AMEN!
You asked for it, you got it. I'm covering Beth in prayer today. May the perfect words flow easily from her mind to the paper/computer.
Love in Christ,
Cheryl

What a great opportunity to see just how GREAT our GOD is!!! I will be praying fervently for Beth. I am looking forward to seeing what God has to say through this study.
Amanda:
Thank you for letting us know. It gives me a sense of even great anticipation of the Esther study. I'm so excited to be a part of it's construction....BY PRAYING WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!!!!!!
Beth:
Father, guide our precious Beth's thoughts as she takes on this critical task for You and for us. We praise you, Lord, that you have given us such a wise and devoted servant that we may grow in our knowledge of you. AMEN.
Esther is my favorite Bible story. I cannot hardly contain myself thinking of how you will make it come alive!!!!!!!!!
Dear Beth,
I have been praying for you since seeing this post this morning, and my most fervent prayers will be with you throughout this journey! It almost feels like a selfish prayer, as I know how much I will one day benefit from the fruits of your labor when I someday do the Esther study!
Thank you both for your faithfulness. How our Lord must beam with joy over his precious daughters Beth and Amanda! I love you so much!
Krissy
Definitely praying for God's wisdom and hand in the writing and organizing. I look forward to seeing the (God) finished product :)
Love ya sistas!!!
My prayers are with you Beth during this key time of hearing from God! I trust God will not let you nor us down now! I am believing He will reveal the secret things He wants to show us, via your Bible study, regarding this heroine of our faith! He's never failed us yet! Thank you Amanda for letting us know we are useful in this endeavor as well!
Praying for you, my dearly loved sister...
Oops. I missed today but will pray for God's Spirit to guide Beth on this new study. I absolutely love the story of Esther and look forward to the Beth Moore take!
Dearest Beth, You are in my prayers and I know God will fill you with His words and insight. I had to share my week with you and what my Bride Groom, Jesus has been up to in my life...
I just copied and pasted my blog entry for today:
It's been a tough week to face, but the Bride Groom of God's grace has been there for me. I had been dreading Tuesday, May 22nd for a while now because of a personal issue I had to face. Tuesday morning I woke from the most vivid dream that has left me so humble. I remember being at the bottom of the sea holding on to this rope struggling to get to the end of it (representing my struggles recently). The rope wasn't leading to the surface of the water it continued to trail along the ocean floor where it was leading out onto the ocean shore where there was a man hooded in black (I'm assuming this represented Satan). It was like I was that person in the ocean, but I also had this view looking on to see all of this like as if I was watching a movie. I never made it to the surface. There was no struggle or fight for human life as if I were going to drown it was just like I was on a mission and I had to get to the end of the rope. I felt frustration, anger, and hurt during my struggle to reach the end of the rope. Then the next thing I knew I was in a place of mist that beamed light and there was another presence I felt of a woman that seem to be a protector (like an angel), but I couldn't visually see her. Then it was a man with the bluest eyes that looked at me with so much love. It was Jesus! I wasn't told this in the dream it was just my understanding that He was on a mission to go to His Father. He carried a large book white with gold trim/embossing and on top of it was a small gold decorative vase (something like I think the wise man might have brought their treasures in to Baby Jesus). His gaze was deep into my spirit, but He didn't slow or falter His mission He was on. As He passed me I said "O my Lord, how beautiful You are!" Jesus said, Thank you as He walk onward to meet with The Father, His Father.
This blew me away! What a treasure, but this selfish part in me was like He didn't stop and talk with me, He said "Thank you", not Thank you, my child (you know what I mean "addressing me"). That's only something a woman would take notice of and be sensitive about. Now that's terrible of me after this gift He sent to me. Shame on me! I can't help myself to want more of Him.
Wow, I'm just blown away with God's faithfulness!
How exciting!!! What a wonderful adventure the Lord is taking Beth on to really get into His Word and see Esther for what the book is really about! I will pray!!!
His,
Mrs. U
God be with my dear sweet sister and teacher Beth as she prepares to bring to life the story of Esther for all of us who are so blessed by her insight, her wisdom and her Spirit-filled teachings. Thank you for blessing her with such wit, charm and a spirit of exhortation and love. Bless her greatly, fill her cup to overflowing so that we may merely receive from the saucer of Your grace!
Its a privilege to pray for Beth as she writes what she receives from God for our benefits!
I will be praying for you, Beth! Thank you Amanda for letting us know about this.
God Bless~
Karen
praying praying praying for sweet Beth. We were joking last night about how we will all have to go into remission and have a support group if she quits writing these studies. We are kidding but we love them and have such a bond because of it.
Sometimes when the phone rings at the house I will kid with my man and say that may be Beth on the phone I better go get it. I crack myself up. Another thing is we were joking about how sometimes we get so used to the studies that it is us, the Holy Spirit, and Beth! HA HA!!
I love how God loves us. Yesterday He put Beth on my heart, so a friend and I joined together in prayer for her. THen today I read this. He's got her covered. :)
I am humbled that you ask us to pray for this study.. thank you Amanda!
o Awesome God
please touch the heart of one of your most faithful servants, Beth, as she embarks in her new Bible study on Esther. Touch her heart mightily, inspire her deeply and powerfully, yet tenderly - let her become Your full voice.
In Jesus' name I pray.
amen.
maria cristina
Shoot, I didn't have time yesterday to turn on my computer so I missed out. But I will pray today and Monday (I believe that God isn't defined by time so He answers prayers yesterday that we pray today). It's so fun to pray for a study that I'm so looking forward to doing.
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the study in this way.
Beth,
I wanted to write again and tell you how excited I am about the conference this weekend. I think Travis is more excited than anyone, I love that it is his hometown. We all felt that way when you came to Knoxville. :o) I am praying for you, I enjoy so much studying God's Word with you in person or thru DVD.
Love,
Patty
prayers going up for you Beth! May His Holy Spirit flow through you continually during this time of preparation for this next Bible study on the Book of Esther and always. You are a blessing.
Tracie
Fairfield OH
OH, OH, OH a study on Esther! YEAY!!
Will be praying!!!
Praying! I CAN'T WAIT TO DO THE STUDY!
love you sistas,
Kristi
Beth, I will be praying. I am sure your study is for "such a time as this" in women's lives!
Beth,
Esther, a timely study, TIME, a man told me that at the speed of light time stands still and the unverse expands to infinity (I think he said it was Einstein), looking forward to the study!
I am praying.
Praying. May God direct you in all wisdom and grace.
Thank you my sister for your obedience to our Savior!
Angela
May you hear God with your heart!
Pat Shaver
Wow! Can't wait for the study. How I love Esther. You are in my prayers.
Beth, I will be praying for you. I enjoy listening to you and studying God's Word with you.
Thanks and I'll be praying.
continuing to pray for her and God's continued annointing in her words!
You got it!
How awesome to be able to pray for this! I am honored, after doing many Beth Moore studies to feel so "in". She is in my prayers!
Esther! How exciting!
Just finished a speaking engagement with some material on Esther...Look up the word 'time' in Esther 4:14 - It is the Hebrew word 'ETH'...See what you can make of it? EsTHer. Isn't that the coolest? also love the lexicon's definition of 'eth' as "series of unrecurring incidents"...as if you need me to tell you this..I just dig good words! :))
Praying for your preparation of this study...certain it will be just as inspired as the others...
Blessings!
Lisa
ANYONE LOOKING FOR A TICKET TO BOONE? WE HAD A LADY GET SICK. IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT PLEASE CALL CASSANDRA AT 828-775-9355.
I'm just now getting to read the blog this week due to my work schedule. First, I can't get over how handsome little Jackson is. And that smile!! It runs in the family!! I am joining the many sisters who are praying for the preparation of Esther. Our Ladies Class did the Patriarch's last fall and it's AMAZING how God's word speaks to each of us at whenever we get to a study. Thank you, thank you for opening your life and heart to us all as you make yourself availble to God to work through to bless us. We KNOW Him because of you and we are eternally grateful. In Jesus'Love Kathy Knoblock
Wohoo! Can't wait for some Esther! My hubby always says the book of Esther would make a great Broadway musical. Maybe that could be your next endeavor?? Praying for insight and wisdom and a special, private word for you from Him. So thankful for YOU and all you do for us- YOU are here for such a time as this!
praying
I have been and will continue to pray! For Beth to do a study on Esther is an answer to my prayers.
This week I will finish the study of Daniel, and a study of Esther will just go along with it. I know it will be a while before it is in print, but I am already there.
I have loved Esther since I was a very small child. Her story is grown in my heart for over 30 years. The more I know of her the more I want to know.
I cannot wait for God to reveal Esther to me again through Beth. Praise be to God for answering my prayer.
Praise God for Great Christian Women Leaders like Beth & Amanda. I have completed a few of Beth's studies. I have loved every minute of it!
The Ester Study will be a God Filled One. Thank you Beth for being a great Role Model to me.
God Bless!
I think we all have experienced Titus 1:1 through you Beth---it says you are a servant of the Word of God for our faith and for the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness---changed lives. I know I am changed because of your teaching. I am thinking of those moments in studying Breaking Free, Daniel, David, Patriarchs, Loving Well, Beloved Disciple when the verse jumped out of the page sinking into my innermost being. Verses like Gen. 32:25 (wrestling with God) and Rev. 2:17 (a new name) and Psalm 18:19 (God delights in me) and Dan. 4:14 (covered with chains)and there's more...And I pray I Cor. 2:3,4 that your study today would be a demonstration of the power of God for all of us that our faith would rest on not how wise you are but on our precious God's Power because you are finishing Esther for each of us. Thank you, my dear. Esther 4:14 - for such a time in each of our lives to find a peace we know not, a rest we know not, an invitation from our God through Beth. So, thank you for this labor of love---Gal. 4:19---til Christ be formed in us.
I was hoping Beth would do one on Esther! I had to teach the book in Sunday School recently and the only study I found was written several years ago by Charles Swindoll.
Of course I will be praying for this. Recently during the Easter sunrise service I attended at Elijah Monastery in Mosul Iraq, I was sure to think about all of LPM and Beths family. I cant wait to come home and be able to take part in some of these conferences and such that I read about online. Thank you for this ministry that helps me keep grounded in the Word when I am walking in uncertainty in this place.
I wish there was a way to let you know just how much I am looking forward to this! I've been praying about it ever since I heard that was the next series, and then we got the green slip that Tuesday night at bible study!
You are always in our prayers.
This is such a timely post. I have been wanting to lead my women's Bible study group on a study in Esther, but have not yet found the right study. I'll be praying for this! We love Beth!
I have never blogged before but Beth's studies have been such a blessing that I decided to become a "blogger" with her.
