TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 43
TODAY’S PRAYER – Jacob waited out of fear. Simeon waited in prison while Jacob waited out of fear. Eventually the brothers had to return to Egypt, due to the famine, with Benjamin. If they hadn’t, they would not be granted another audience with the disguised Joseph, and their other brother would remain imprisoned. Jacob thinks Joseph is dead, been told Simeon is a hostage, and fears Benjamin might not come back home. Jacob says, “May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived” (Genesis 43:14). Our prayer, “God almighty, we beg of you to use your might for mercy to be shown in our lives from others. But if not, your will be done. Amen.”
