Do you ever wonder why God has you where he has you? I'm not talking location, so much as position: at home with kids, moving into a new career, in your circle of friends, all the various roles you play.
Esther was honest with Mordecai about the risk and sacrifice, "Everyone who works for the king here, and even the people out in the provinces, knows that there is a single fate for every man or woman who approaches the king without being invited: death. The one exception is if the king extends his gold scepter; then he or she may live. And it's been thirty days now since I've been invited to come to the king."
She is calculating whether or not she can even get in the door without losing her life, much less if she addresses the issue.
Mordecai tries to embolden her, "Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this."
God is behind this. It's worth the risk.
