Then Pharoah said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that suddenly you seek to go to your own country?"
Heavenly and Holy Father, You are so loving and kind and yet too often we get this sudden desire to return to where You have delivered us from. You are far superior to Pharoah and anything this world could offer, yet it is true when we feel dissatisfied instead of seeking You more, we wander off. Forgive us Father for this is a grievous act we commit against You. Many who profess faith in You have not crucified their love of foreign delights that turn their hearts away from You to worship false gods. I pray for those who cling to these desires instead of receiving Your loyal love. A love that is so amazing and divine. You have commanded us to have no other gods before You, nor make graven images of them. You have also command for out not to take Your name in vain and yet is heard from the mouths of many both young and old. It saddens me to see the lack of true fear, an awe reverence of You Almighty alongside the pride and sense of entitlement many think You owe them. Father as You are not surprised that many leaders in the church have fallen, going back to their own country as You know what is in the heart of everyman. Please Lord comfort those who have been hurt by leaders who were appointed to shepherd Your flock but all the while they lived lives of hypocrisy and lies. I pray for Your church to remain steadfast as You purify Your bride to be spotless and blameless at Your return. King Solomon was blessed beyond measure, yet he did not endure till the end as he went after the forbidden, help us dear Jesus to stand firm in our faith till You call us home. Amen.
