August 19, 2020 SHARE: Esther and Unity with God’s Family A WORD FROM THE LORD Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated.” Esther 7:3-4 A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT Esther found her identity in the covenant of grace she shared with the people of God. We are all one in God’s baptismal covenant through Christ! WE’RE PRAYING FOR YOU “Holy Father, Give me joy today in knowing that my people are those whom You have called to be Your own. Amen.” RENEWAL MOMENT Take a deep breath. Exhale Slowly. “Lord, have mercy.” Thanksgiving for the union I share with the redeemed of the Lord! MARKER OF WELLBEING: Baptismal As I grow in God’s grace of Baptismal LOVE, I am finding joy in my IDENTITY as His new creation in Christ.
