Bible Belles: Becoming A Belle Of PatienceSample

God gave you a special superpower - the Power of Patience!

Remember, there are five main superpowers of the Bible Belles: Prayer, Patience, Bravery, Loyalty, and Leadership. Today, you’re going to find out how you can use your second superpower: the Power of Patience. We can see how patience is a superpower when we look at the story of Esther.

After becoming the queen of Persia (Esther 2), Esther's cousin Mordecai got into some trouble by refusing to bow to Haman, the king's second in command (Esther 3). Haman became very angry and came up with a plan to destroy all of God's people. 

Read Esther 4. 

When her people were threatened, Esther faced a difficult choice. It would have been very easy for her to hurry in to talk to the king without thinking it through. Instead, Esther took her time. She prepared her heart by praying and fasting. She waited and listened for God to guide and direct her. 

And just as God helped Esther to wait patiently until it was the right time to act, He will help you, too.
