Genesis 48:

Heavenly Father, give us grace so that we may be a blessing to our family, and not live comparing ourselves with others. 

¹ After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 

¹⁴ Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. ¹⁵ He blessed Joseph, and said,

“The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
¹⁶ the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads,
and let my name be named on them,
and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac.
Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”

¹⁷ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him.
¹⁹ His father said, “I know, my son, I know. Manasseh also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
