God, When I remember the story of Joseph’s life, I realize how you want so much more for me than I could ever dream of. I also see how you can turn what man means for evil into what you mean for good. Please bring this to my mind whenever I’m feeling doubt and confusion; whenever I’m feeling oppressed, alone, and victimized; whenever I’m feeling unjustly treated; whenever I think that I don’t have something I need. I know that you are in control. I pray that I will always allow you to do your work and that I will not interfere in your plans for me. Please give me strength and fill me with your desires for me. Thank you, loving Father. In Jesus’ name, amen.
