Queen Esther's Advice "For Such A Time As This"

 

"Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa and fast for me.
Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will
fast as you do.  After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law.
And if I perish, I perish!"
(Esther 4:16)
