“Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 

Lord God my Father,

Your word is the only Truth that is. Help me to know it and call on you in all matters. Protect me from the wicked ways of my thoughts, keep me from sin. Help me to trust in your plan without question.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
