1. Weep and Wail--Esther 4:1. Crying out is a natural response to severe crisis. It's amazing that so much of what God calls us to do comes quite naturally.
2. Take Courage and Overcome Fear--Esther 4:7-13. Queen Esther could easily see the reasons not to act--fear. Mordecai would give her the reasons to act--love.
3. Have Faith that Deliverance will Come--Esther 4:14. "Relief and deliverance will arise..." (v14). Now that's faith!
4. Understand God's Perspective (Wisdom)--Esther 4:14. "And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" (v14). Can you see your place in God's plan? Understanding God's perspective of your place under the Sun is wisdom.
5. Pray and Fast--Esther 4:16. Anxiety naturally causes the loss of appetite. Match that up with desperate expressions of need to God and you've got a powerful combination.
