PRAYER: 
Father God thank you that you are our Lord!

We pray Father God, that everything that keeps us from getting closer to You, to the purposes that You have from our lives be destroyed. May we search our hearts and mind and through the help of the Holy Spirit in us get rid of it all today!

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

NOTES & PRAYER POINTS:
- Jacob was destined for great things; he had amazing promises directly from God… BUT he led a sinful life and didn’t have the patience to rest in God’s presence and His will or timing. 

- Sin is spiritual filth that attracts “Flies” - problems and chaos. The more filth, the more flies… 
        - Is there spiritual filth in our lives which is creating hurt and self-destruction? Ask God to reveal it to you and cleanse you from it. 

- Like in Jacob’s case, love for our own self-seeking determination can send us down a path that takes us further away from the peace and presence of Father God. 
        - Is Jesus the centre - the absolute everything - in our lives, above all other things? Surrender again to Him today. 

- We cannot earn God’s blessing through man-made plans and determination, but only by trusting and resting in God’s presence, for His timing and will in all things.
