17“You must not covet your neighbor’s house. You must not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.”

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. Again they all responded, “We will do everything the lord has commanded. We will obey.”

Lord God my father,
Soften my heart so it can be reshaped in your image, make my ways apparent to me so I may turn from them and surrender to your way, Lord protect my thoughts and keep the ways of the world away from me so I may only have thoughts that are pleasing to you, Direct my actions so I may delight you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

With a strong hand, the lord rescued you from Egypt.’

He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the lord your God and do what is right in his sight,

Lord God,
Place on my heart a desire to listen to you and soften my heart to do your will without delay. Lord God, I am too weak to do what is before me, I crave your power to push me forward and pray my actions will release your glory in your kingdom. May defeat the enemy with your power and strength and bring you glory.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Then the lord said to Moses, “Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubbornso I can display my miraculous signs among them

The lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for.

Lord God, you have made me stubborn so you can display your miraculous signs thru me. I pray Lord that you would soften my heart so I may allow your power to flow thru me and do amazing things to reveal your glory in your works in me. Soften my heart and protect me from evil thoughts and allow your glory to be my life force.
In Jesus name,
Amen

But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”
12God answered, “I will be with you.

But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The lord never appeared to you’?”

So Moses told the people of Israel what the lord had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.

Lord God,
May my protest against your desires for me make me strong, overcome my suborn ways and give me the strength to overcome and release your glory I have covered with fear,in me and lets overcome my weakness together.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are.

But 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.

Lord God,
may I submit to your every desire for me. Lord protect me from my sinful way and deliver me into our delightful path. Lord may I stop struggling to understand and simply follow you will for me.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Judah recognized them immediately and said, “She is more righteous than I am, because I didn’t arrange for her to marry my son Shelah.” And Judah never slept with Tamar again.

The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything.

Lord God,
Show me your favor and may I care for all you trust me with here and bring you glory in all I do. Transform my desire so I may serve you fully.
In Jesus name,
Amen

“But are you really my son Esau?” he asked.
“Yes, I am,” Jacob replied.

In fact, if the God of my father had not been on my side—the God of Abraham and the fearsome God of Isaac—you would have sent me away empty-handed.

Lord God,
Help me to understand the ways of you. How you bless those who trick to gain favor and those who do not. May I simply accept your way and not question you but be patient until you see fit for me to understand.

In Jesus name,
Amen

The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the lord, and he has sent us to destroy it.”

May your descendants be strong
and conquer the cities of their enemies.”

Lord God my father,
I ask you to drive out the enemies struggling to influence me in my daily actions, Lord open my eyes and reveal them to me so I may allow you to conquer them and purify my to the point of living in your blessed actions. Lord God may I sacrifice what I hold precious in my heart that separates my from your will for me and give me power and energy to serve you in ridiculous ways.

And Abram believed the lord, and the lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.

The angel of the lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.” 10Then he added, “I will give you more descendants than you can count.”

Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.”
But the lord said, “No, you did laugh.”

So the lord told Abraham, “I have heard a great outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant.

And the lord replied, “Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

Lord God, soften my ways so your ways can transform me, give me obedience so I may use your wisdom to do your will.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Then the lord said to Job,
2“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty?
You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”

I had only heard about you before,
but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6I take back everything I said,
and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

Lord God,
How do I brace myself to answer to you, Lord God it is only in your power I can stand in this world. Lord God, May I allow your power and peace to flow thru me and may I not challenge your way but submit all I am to your way. Lord God, may I truly get to know you and allow you to be my God wholeheartedly.

In Jesus name,
Amen
