“Today I have been reminded of my failure,” 

Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, 

“Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”

Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father’s family.” 52Joseph named his second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief.”

Joseph is dead, and he is all I have left. If anything should happen to him on your journey, you would send this grieving, white-haired man to his grave.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is so far out of my understanding. Help me have the focus to work past my weakness and shine in your will. Give me the wisdom and determination to restore what is in disrepair in my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
