They quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord! 4Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? 5Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!”

Our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived there many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors, 16but when we cried out to the Lord, he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt.

Lord God my Father,

You are all knowing and all powerful, help me to trust in your plan without question. Give me a confidence in my faith that protects me from asking what you are up to and just follow. Bring the lessons of my past struggles to my understanding so I may see the strength and wisdom intended for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

It is against the Lord that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?”

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is perfect, keep me from questioning what you are up to and just accept your plan without question.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”

The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them?

But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. 

You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.

Lord God my Father,

Your Glory is overwhelming and delightful. Help my focus to always be on you and keep me from doubt, with you all things are possible. When you want me to do something hard, you will provide the solution, keep me from doubt. Give me that different spirit that knows you are involved in all things, so the best is at hand. Help me to have a spirit that constantly knows you are with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
