But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?”

But Moses pleaded with the Lord, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.”

Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”

Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother,

But Moses argued with the Lord, saying, “I can’t do it! I’m such a clumsy speaker! Why should Pharaoh listen to me?”

Lord God my Father,

Why do I doubt you, why do I struggle for control of my own life, why do I question your truth. May I submit all my life to your control and remove my filter from your desire for me.

Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses,2:10 Moses sounds like a Hebrew term that means “to lift out.” for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.”

“Here I am!” Moses replied.

 You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”11But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”12God answered, “I will be with you.

“But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand forces him.

Lord God my Father,

Give me a faith free from fear, open my spirit to accept you completely. Allow me to hear you when you call and simply say “Here I am!” Help me to follow your desire for me completely trusting you with fearless obedience. Destroy my rebellion so I may embrace your plan, surrendered to your desire.

But Jacob insisted, “No, if I have found favor with you, please accept this gift from me. And what a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the face of God! 11Please take this gift I have brought you, for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.” And because Jacob insisted, Esau finally accepted the gift.

Lord God my Father,

You are ever gracious and forgiving. Your Love inspires me to complete surrender, to live under your authority. I give you my life, take my desires and make them yours, I wish to only have your desire in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But if I must lose my children, so be it.”

Then Joseph hurried from the room because he was overcome with emotion for his brother. He went into his private room, where he broke down and wept. 

“Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.

So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser45:8 Hebrew a father. to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.

Lord God my Father,

May I place my life in your hands and allow you free rein of my thoughts and actions. May I only be a blessing to you and trust your plan for me completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.

1But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love.

Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.

Lord God my Father,

I ask you to create an overwhelming desire to be obedient to you, be with me and use me for your glory in all areas. Help me to remove the false idols in my life that weaken me.

So Jacob told everyone in his household, “Get rid of all your pagan idols, purify yourselves, and put on clean clothing.

Lord God my Father,

Be with me and point out the areas of my life I have not surrendered to you. Purify me and use me completely for your Glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, 21and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the Lord will certainly be my God. 22And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.”

26“It’s not our custom here to marry off a younger daughter ahead of the firstborn,” Laban replied. 27“But wait until the bridal week is over; then we’ll give you Rachel, too—provided you promise to work another seven years for me.”

Lord God my Father,

May I live as you wish not in my own selfish way and create Glory to you. May I have discernment over the wicked ways Satan attempts to draw me off your path.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Lord God my Father,

Help me to grow ever mindful of your blessings in my life and not take them for granted. Protect me from the ways of this world and keep my heart sensitive to your peace.

Amen
