What will I obey this week?

Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, Joseph's brothers did something terrible to him, and you did not leave him there alone. Thank you that you stay with people in the worst places. Help me be kind to the brother or sister I find hardest.
