⁹ Jacob said, “O ^(A)God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who said to me, ‘^(B)Return to your country and to your relatives, and I will ^[a]prosper you,’ ^10 [b]I am unworthy ^(C)of all the lovingkindness and of all the ^[c]faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies. ^11 (D)Deliver me, I pray, ^(E)from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, that he will come and ^[d]attack me and the ^(F)mothers with the children. ¹² For You said, ‘^(G)I will surely ^[e]prosper you and ^(H)make your ^[f]descendants as the sand of the sea, which is too great to be numbered.’”

Jeremiah’s Prayer

^6 (A)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by ^(B)prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And ^(C)the peace of God, which surpasses all ^[a]comprehension, will ^(D)guard your hearts and your ^(E)minds in ^(F)Christ Jesus.
