May God Almighty give you mercy as you go before the man, so that he will release Simeon and let Benjamin return. But if I must lose my children, so be it.”

“Relax. Don’t be afraid,” the household manager told them. “Your God, the God of your father, must have put this treasure into your sacks.

 “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 adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.

“Joseph is still alive!” they told him. “And he is governor of all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he couldn’t believe it.

Lord God my Father,

Your mercy is beyond my comprehension, your plan, beyond my understanding, but you are perfect. Lord God, help me to relax my thoughts so your will rest well with me. The struggles I thought were to crush me, only reveals your glory when I trust you. Give me a peace that allows your plan to rest well and reveal your outcome.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen
