Morning Scripture
“Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.”
Exodus 2:23-25 NKJV

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

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God, thank you for hearing our cries over the years. Thank you for keeping your promises through the years. Father, please remind us that our prayers may not be answered immediately, but that you will answer. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Lord, thank you for this reminder that the Pharaohs - people and places- in our lives don’t last forever. Father, we seek you in our times of struggle, we pray that you hear our cries and that we find comfort in knowing that you are listening. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Morning Scripture
“Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses. And she bore him a son. He called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a stranger in a foreign land.”” Exodus 2:21-22 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.2.22.NKJV “Moses accepted the invitation, and he settled there with him. In time, Reuel gave Moses his daughter Zipporah to be his wife. Later she gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, for he explained, “I have been a foreigner in a foreign land.”” Exodus 2:21-22 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.2.21-22.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God, thank you for this example of acceptance. Father, teach us to be accepting of strangers. Teach us to be patient and loving to those who have no one. So often, we are strangers in a foreign land- we move to new cities, we accept new job positions, we join new churches. Bring to our remembrance that feeling, and teach us to treat each other with kindness In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.” Exodus 2:15 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.2.15.NKJV “And sure enough, Pharaoh heard what had happened, and he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in the land of Midian. When Moses arrived in Midian, he sat down beside a well.” Exodus 2:15 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.2.15.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, please continue to be a hedge of protection around us. Father, teach us that sometimes the fight is not ours and it is best to live to fight another day. Remind us, that we may have to seek shelter elsewhere; but that you, Lord, will fight for us. Thank you, Lord, for your protection. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. My head is overrun with thoughts.

Morning Scripture
“Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.” Exodus 2:16-17 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.2.16-17.NKJV “Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came as usual to draw water and fill the water troughs for their father’s flocks. 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.” Exodus 2:16-17 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.2.16-17.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father God, thank you for this reminder of compassion. So often we label people because of something they have done in the past. Moses killed a man and fled from his home. But he still had enough compassion in his heart to come to the aid of the women at the well. Remind us, Father, that a bad deed does not make a bad person. Also, Lord, remind us that our bad deed does not keep us from the compassion in our heart. Father, heal our hearts so we can continue to be of service to ourselves and others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?” And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.” So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.”” Exodus 2:18-20 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/exo.2.18-20.NKJV “When the girls returned to Reuel, their father, he asked, “Why are you back so soon today?” “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds,” they answered. “And then he drew water for us and watered our flocks.” “Then where is he?” their father asked. “Why did you leave him there? Invite him to come and eat with us.”” Exodus 2:18-20 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/exo.2.18-20.NLT |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for this example of Reuben, who heard about a man that rescued his daughters and decided to trust him, sent for him, and welcomed him into his home. Father, thank you for this example of Moses, who rescued women he didn’t know and asked for nothing in return. Father, teach us to be grateful to others when they extend themselves to us. Father, teach us to be grateful to others in respect of the kindness once shown to us. Father. You have called us to be each other's keeper. Teach us. Show us. So that we can. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |
