Adoration
You never abandon Your children, Lord. Your unchanging character secures believers in this life and for eternity. You keep Your promises and bring them to completion.

Confession
In Genesis 30:27, Laban acknowledged Your blessing, Lord, but rather than humbly bow before You, he tried to exploit Your provision. Forgive us, God, for using Your glory for our gain.

Thanksgiving
Thank you, Father, for Your relentless love. Through Your Son, You right all wrongs and reconcile broken families. If Jacob’s, Leah’s and Rachel’s sins weren’t beyond Your saving grace, then neither are ours.

Supplications
In Genesis 30:1, “When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister….” Rachel was blind to the gift of Jacob’s love when she focused on what she didn’t have. Give me a spirit of gratitude, Lord. Help me to see Your provision and turn my pain into praise of You.
