"Let My People Go"—A Call to Freedom

In Exodus 9:1, God commands Moses to deliver a powerful message to Pharaoh: "Let my people go, so that they may worship me." This moment marked the beginning of Israel's journey from captivity to freedom, a story of God’s deliverance that still resonates today. The cry for freedom isn’t just a call to physical liberation—it’s a call to spiritual freedom.

As we look at Israel’s modern-day struggle, we are reminded that God is still at work, delivering His people from bondage. Whether it’s the hostages held by Hamas or the spiritual chains that bind us, God’s call for freedom remains constant. Let us, as modern-day Esthers, stand in prayer and action, trusting God’s hand to bring freedom to His people.

As modern-day Esthers, we are called not only to intercede for Israel but to step out in bold faith. Esther stood in the gap for her people, risking her life for their deliverance. Today, we too are called to pray for Israel’s protection and act with courage and conviction. In this spiritual battle, our prayers are powerful weapons, and our voices can advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Let us not shrink back, but rise in faith, believing that God is the same deliverer now as He was in the days of Moses and Esther.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, just as You delivered Israel from Egypt, we pray for the safe return of all hostages today. May Your hand of protection cover them, and may Your peace comfort their families. Help us to trust in Your timing and to stand strong in our prayers and actions. Let Your people go, Lord, so that they may be free. Strengthen us as modern-day Esthers to rise in boldness, courage, and faith, as we stand for Your people. Amen
