In his hand he carried the staff of God.

But Pharaoh shouted, “You’re just lazy! Lazy! That’s why you’re saying, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.

The foremen said to them, “May the Lord judge and punish you for making us stink before Pharaoh and his officials

You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel, who are now slaves to the Egyptians. And I am well aware of my covenant with them.

But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

Lord God my Father,

Give me the confidence and relationships that release your power in my life. Guide me in doing your will and hear my desire to serve you. Give me persistence in doing your will.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
