O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today.                     
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, compassion, courage and peace for my daily life             Chinese text

When Mordecai heard about Haman's plan,
Mordecai asked Esther to appeal to Ahasuerus for help.

Mordecai and Esther both knew that to approach the king
without an invitation was a crime punishable by death,
unless the king saw fit to welcome an uninvited person.

So they prayed to God to move the heart of Ahasuerus to welcome Esther.

Dear God, please move the hearts of rulers
to care for their people

Save me, O God, for the waters have risen to my neck.
I am sinking fast and can't keep afloat much longer.

So many people hate me without cause.
I have no more strength to resist them.

May my situation not cause anyone to lose faith in you.
May people realize that it is for your sake that I am taunted.

Taunts have broken my heart.
No one shows me any compassion.

For food they give me poison.
In my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

Lord, do not hide your face from your servant.
Answer quickly for I am in distress.

You are my rescuer, my help, O God.
O Lord, do not delay to help me.

Lord, may all elderly people put their trust and hope in you

Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to the believers living among foreigners

You were chosen by God the Father. You were made holy by the Spirit. 
You are obedient to Jesus Christ and are sprinkled with his blood

Grace and peace be with you more and more

Father, Son and Holy Spirit - thank you for life and faith

Jesus said to the religious leaders "The healing and teaching my Father has given me to do, testify that the Father sent me

You study the Scriptures, realizing that in them there is the message of life.
Now these same Scriptures focus on me, and yet you refuse to come to me for life

If you really believe what Moses wrote, you would believe in me, 
since it was I that he was writing about"

Jesus, please help me understand how everything in the Bible is related to you.
Help me understand that "ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of you"
