In this inaugural episode of our "She Impacts Culture Devotional Series," guest host Corrie Heinrichs leads us through a prayer devotional corresponding to the She Impacts Culture episode 40, Communicate with Confidence in Difficult Situations. Drawing inspiration from the story of Esther, the devotional focuses on the power of effective communication and the influence it can have on culture. Corrie's thoughtful reflections and prayer prompts will guide you in seeking wisdom, strength, and transformation in your communication, ultimately empowering you to positively impact the culture around you for Christ. So, sit back, open your heart, and prepare to be uplifted in this devotional journey.

Esther 4:14

NLT (New Living Translation): "If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?"

ESV (English Standard Version): "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

NIV (New International Version): "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?"
