To allow Him to own my days

If you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, do not walk by. Instead, stop and help.

I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply and threaten you. 30I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land.

Lord God,
Give me a servants heart, may I truly desire to bless those who wish to hurt me. Allow me to completely forgive those who wronged me and remove any desire for revenge to rest in my heart. Allow me to accept your great plan to become my plan. Remove any struggle I wish to pursue with you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To always remember where blessings come from.

You know how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth;

Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.

Lord God my Father,
Your are mighty and good, your care for my needs and provide peace to my spirit when I submit to you. Help me to never overlook your blessings and to rely on you for all things.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To Praise, not complain

one month after leaving the land of Egypt.16:1b The Exodus had occurred on the fifteenth day of the first month (see Num 33:3). 2There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.

Then Moses told them, “Do not keep any of it until morning.” 20But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell.

“This is what the Lord commanded: Tomorrow will be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath day set apart for the Lord.

The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions?

So once more the people complained against Moses. “Give us water to drink!” they demanded.

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What should I do with these people? They are ready to stone me!”

Israel argued with Moses and tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord here with us or not?”

“This is not good!” Moses’ father-in-law exclaimed. 18“You’re going to wear yourself out—and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.

Lord God my Father,
Take my stubborn ways from me that separate me from you, make me a man of action, your action. I wish to follow your instruction above the ways of my past. You are in charge and control and I wish to submit to all your authority over me. Help me to transform the energy I use to fight you to follow you in all things. May I stop challenging your way you designed me for.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To reflect the one True God.

‘With the power of his mighty hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery. 15Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go,

I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!”

I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!”

My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers.

When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

Lord God my Father,

May I trust in you alone to provide a path to freedom. May I trust in you to display your glory to deliver me from my sinful way and give you all Glory. Use me to display your Glory to the enemy and soften the hearts of those who do not know you. Deliver me from the bondage of my poor decisions and allow me to shine with your Glory to this fallen world.

In Jesus name,
Amen

I want to give in, why the struggle

Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. “I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you,” he confessed. 17“Forgive my sin, just this once,

Finally, Pharaoh called for Moses. “Go and worship the Lord,” he said. “But leave your flocks and herds here. You may even take your little ones with you.”

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart once more, and he would not let them go.

But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home.

The people of Israel had lived in Egypt12:40 Samaritan Pentateuch reads in Canaan and Egypt; Greek version reads in Egypt and Canaan. for 430 years. 41In fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left the land.

Lord God my Father
I have sinned against you and I have a heart the only wants to follow you. Lord remove my stubborn way and soften my heart to follow you without compromise. Help me to release the conditions I place on my faith and be obedient to you wholeheartedly.

Why am I still so stubborn

But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.

Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.

So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them.

The Egyptians detest the sacrifices that we offer to the Lord our God.

But I am warning you, Pharaoh, don’t lie to us again and refuse to let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.”

So Moses left Pharaoh’s palace and pleaded with the Lord to remove all the flies.

“This time I have sinned,” he confessed. “The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong.

Lord God my Father
I am so much like Pharaoh, I have stubborn heart. I find so many excuses to not do your will above my own. Take my stubborn, hard tendency and remove it from my heart, I wish to do your will above my own. I pray that your miraculious way will be revealed before me and thru me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Faith enough to create courage.

Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?

But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.”
14Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said.

But Pharaoh shouted, “You’re just lazy! Lazy! That’s why you’re saying, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.’ 18Now get back to work! No straw will be given to you, but you must still produce the full quota of bricks.”

“May the Lord judge and punish you for making us stink before Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword into their hands, an excuse to kill us!”

Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even more brutal to your people. And you have done nothing to rescue them!”

Lord God my Father,
You made me for your purpose, You have a plan for me. May I stop resisting the purpose you have for me and pursue your desire. Protect me from the obstacles I find to distract your purpose.
Give me composure to do your will when it seems confusing to me. Help me to understand you are in control of ALL!
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

To allow His transformation.

But some other shepherds came and chased them away. So Moses jumped up and rescued the girls from the shepherds. Then he drew water for their flocks.

He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.

“This is amazing,” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must go see it.”

Lord God my Father,
Use me to do your work, Look favorably on me, guide me and may I use your strength to do your work. Motivate me beyond my sinful desires and change me into who you created me to be. Open my eyes to see your amazing opportunities before me.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To be restored to my original purpose.

When he sees how good the countryside is
and how pleasant the land,
he will bend his shoulder to the load
and submit himself to hard labor.

These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he told his sons good-bye. He blessed each one with an appropriate message.

You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

Lord God my Father,
You provide such awesome wonders for me to enjoy, may I honor you and serve you by using these gifts to your Glory. Give me strength to do your will and protect me from my sinful ways. May I submit to do your work no matter how hard. May I truly hear the message you place on my heart and change my way to serve you with all the strength you have given me. You intended your gifts to me to honor you and I have not followed thru with your will. Forgive me and restore me to your vision.

In Jesus name,
Amen

A release of my understanding

“It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”

So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”

May God Almighty43:14 Hebrew El-Shaddai. give you mercy as you go before the man, so that he will release Simeon and let Benjamin return. But if I must lose my children, so be it.”

“Relax. Don’t be afraid,” the household manager told them. “Your God, the God of your father, must have put this treasure into your sacks. I know I received your payment.”

Lord God my Father,
May I fully understand all things are beyond my power and fully rely on you for all things. May I be overwhelmed by your truth and protected from all excuses I may desire. Allow me to release my desire to understand and allow your plan to unfold. Help me to grow to an understanding that your plan is hard sometimes but for the best.

In Jesus name,
Amen
