Genesis 36-40

 

“And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.” Genesis 39:1-5

 

Lord, I pray that in whatever situation that I am in that I would be made prosperous by Thee. Lord, though Joseph was undoubtedly a diligent and trustworthy man, I often look at those things as the means to his success rather than the fact that the works of his hands were made prosperous only by Thee. Lord, that is what my prayer is for my life, that the works of my hands would be made prosperous by Thee and for Thy name’s sake. Lord, I desire that people would see my life and know that I love Thee and desire to serve Thee. Lord, I have high hopes for my life someday but Lord, if it is Your plan for me to be a man of low decree among men, then so be it. Lord, help me to be used of Thee.
