You Were Made for This Moment: Courage for Today and Hope for Tomorrow

Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a constant cycle of bad news streaming in from every corner of the earth, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come!

To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

Queen Esther learned this truth firsthand. When confronted with a royal decree that would annihilate her people, she had to make some tough choices. Would she remain silent in the face of this challenge, or would she speak up? Would she blend in, or would she stand out? But after Esther spent three days in prayer and fasting, God gave her the courage to speak up. God used her to save the nation. And God can do the same with you.

In You Were Made for This Moment, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado will help you:

• Put your hope in the God of grand reversals, trusting that God will right every wrong
• Cultivate courage for your challenging times by leaning on the God who redeems and restores
• Discover your role in God's story by exploring how God can use your experiences and circumstances to join him in his holy work

God never promised us a life without trials, but he does promise to be with us as we walk through them. Trust that he can redeem your struggles for a mighty purpose. You, friend, were made for this moment.
