August 13 – Noon

Read

And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

(Genesis 45:5)

Pray

Dear God,

You are the ultimate source of forgiveness and reconciliation. Just as Joseph was able to forgive and reconcile with his brothers after all they had done to him, I pray for the strength and wisdom to do the same in my own life. Help me to let go of any anger or resentment I may be holding onto and to extend grace and forgiveness to those who have hurt me. Guide me in finding peace and healing through the power of forgiveness.

You are the one who can turn any situation around for good. Just as You used Joseph’s suffering for good, I trust that You can do the same in my life. Help me to see beyond my current struggles and to have faith that You are working everything out for my good. Give me the courage to walk in forgiveness and to pursue reconciliation with those around me. Thank You for Your unfailing love and grace.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
