Esther 5:1-3 (King James Version)
Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
Sovereign Lord,
You are high and mighty, seated between the cherubim of heaven. Stir the intercessors of the Anglican Communion to adorn themselves in holiness, covered in the Blood of Jesus, with mercy and truth around their necks, that they may obtain favor in Your sight. Hold out Your scepter to them and grant their request for the healing of the Anglican Communion. Amen.
