S - Genesis 32:9 And you promised me, ‘I will treat you kindly.’ 10 I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant.. 11 O LORD, please rescue me from the hand of my brother, Esau. I am afraid that he is coming to attack me, along with my wives and children. 12 But you promised me, ‘I will surely treat you kindly, and I will multiply your descendants until they become as numerous as the sands along the seashore—too many to count.
O - Jacob was afraid that Esau was going to bring him harm so he prayed to God. He started with stating the promise that God gave to him that He would treat him kindly. Then he stated that he wasn't worthy of this promise and love and followed that with him abmittance that he was scared of what he faced. Finally, he again stated the promise that God would bless him.
A - Just as Jacob trusted and believed the promises of God, I too need to do this even when I am facing fears. Even though fear may be present, I should acknowledge this fear to Him but instead of focusing on it I should place it on Him and restate the promises that He has given to me.
P - Heavenly Father, I thank you for your promise that you will never leave me and that you will protect and bless me. I come today to ask for your help and comfort with this adoption. Even though we have fears of the unknown and face potential problems I will look to you for guidence in everything that we do. You are so great and have told me to cast my cares and anxieties on you and that is what I do today. Thank you for taking these and guiding me through this journey. Bless my family and me today.
