But again the magicians of Egypt used their magic, and they, too, turned water into blood. So Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron,

But the magicians were able to do the same thing with their magic. They, too, caused frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.8Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged, “Plead with the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go, so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.”

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

But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and just as the Lord had predicted to Moses, Pharaoh refused to listen.

By now I could have lifted my hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the face of the earth. 16But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power

Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he confessed. “The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong. 28Please beg the Lord to end this terrifying thunder and hail. We’ve had enough. I will let you go; you don’t need to stay any longer.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart soft for you, give me discernment about your Truth and allow my heart to belong to you only.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But I will harden his heart so he will refuse to let the people go. 22Then you will tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son. 23I commanded you, “Let my son go, so he can worship me.” But since you have refused, I will now kill your firstborn son!’”

When they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.

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.”

The foremen said to them, “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!”

Then the Lord told Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. When he feels the force of my strong hand, he will let the people go. In fact, he will force them to leave his land!”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart from being hard, keep me open to your desire and obedient to your will. Give me courage to stand firm for you and not back down no matter what attack I am under. Give me faith to wait for your Glory to be released.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.

So God was good to the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful. 21And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. 24God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.

“But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand forces him. I will raise my hand and strike the Egyptians, performing all kinds of miracles among them. Then at last he will let you go.

But Moses pleaded with the Lord, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.

But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.”14Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite?

Lord God my Father,

Allow my fear of you to give me your desire to move as you ask. Bless my actions as I do your will and keep me under your authority, give me courage to do what I am not comfortable with if you ask me to and gather other Godly men around me for your desire to be met.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 You can be certain that when you seek His Kingdom first it will cause the anger, anxiety, and frustration to lessen. And He will provide everything you need. 

If you lay a hand on it,you will certainly remember the battle that follows.You won’t try that again!

I take back everything I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

 “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.

7Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me from struggling with you for it is pointless, Protect my thoughts and keep me under your authority, keep me from misrepresenting you. Thank you for the fullness of life I have with you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?

Then Job replied to the Lord,4“I am nothing—how could I ever find the answers?I will cover my mouth with my hand.5I have said too much already.I have nothing more to say.”

Lord God my Father,

Guide my heart, mind and actions.

Job, you deserve the maximum penaltyfor the wicked way you have talked.37For you have added rebellion to your sin;you show no respect,and you speak many angry words against God.”

Lord God my Father,

You are everything and completely in charge. Help me to see your will without shaping it to my desire. Help me to keep your perspective in all I see and do.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer.I stand before you, but you don’t even look.

Did I not weep for those in trouble?Was I not deeply grieved for the needy?26So I looked for good, but evil came instead.I waited for the light, but darkness fell.27My heart is troubled and restless.

Let God weigh me on the scales of justice,for he knows my integrity.7If I have strayed from his pathway,or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen,or if I am guilty of any other sin,8then let someone else eat the crops I have planted.Let all that I have planted be uprooted.

“If only someone would listen to me!Look, I will sign my name to my defense.Let the Almighty answer me.Let my accuser write out the charges against me.36I would face the accusation proudly.I would wear it like a crown.37For I would tell him exactly what I have done.I would come before him like a prince.

Lord God my Father,

I cry to you to restore me completely, forgive me of my past and deliver me to today free from guilt. Thank you for the process of restoration to who you created me to be and keep me on the path to completion. Give me the heart of Job so I can come to you in confidence under your authority completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As long as I live,while I have breath from God,4my lips will speak no evil,and my tongue will speak no lies.

“God alone understands the way to wisdom; he knows where it can be found, for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens. He decided how hard the winds should blow and how much rain should fall. He made the laws for the rain and laid out a path for the lightning. Then he saw wisdom and evaluated it. He set it in place and examined it thoroughly. And this is what he says to all humanity: ‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

For I am like a tree whose roots reach the water,whose branches are refreshed with the dew.20New honors are constantly bestowed on me,and my strength is continually renewed.’

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in your care, protect me from distraction. Allow your confidence to be mine and my strength come from your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind?Whatever he wants to do, he does.14So he will do to me whatever he has planned.He controls my destiny.

Lord God my Father,

You control my destiny, Keep my thoughts on your path and my will aligned with you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me.I protest, but there is no justice.8God has blocked my way so I cannot move.He has plunged my path into darkness.

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,and he will stand upon the earth at last.

Lord God my Father,

Replace my despair with your peace, allow me to live in your hope so powerful your peace is all I see. Protect me from slipping into the darkness all around me. Your plan is always for your Glory, I live to bring you glory.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
