God answered Esthers prayer.
When the king saw Esther standing in the court, she obtained favour in his sight and he
granted that her request be given to her even the half of the kingdom. Esther requested that her life and the life of her people be given at her petition.
This is the request that Esther made to God as she fasted and prayed and God saw to it that it happened.
Certain events described in the book of Esther showed Gods providence before and after the prayer: Mordecai's position, how he saved the king, how the king couldn't sleep and stayed up to read the chronicles, how Haman was moved to jealousy to build the gallows, and especially how Esther was chosen to be queen at "such a time as this" etc....
