Heavenly Father, we thank You for being the builder of all things. We thank You for Your Son, Jesus, through whom You have spoken to us and appointed the heir of all things. We thank You for the example of Esther, who trusted Your commands and did not make known her people or kindred. Help us to trust You and Your commands in our lives as well. Give us the courage to follow Your will, even when it is difficult. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
