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
