Heavenly father
give us grace in difficult relationships to listen to you (as laban did),
and refrain from making things worse (as Jacob and Rachel did) and from hankering after other Gods (as Rachel did)
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,
18 and he took away all his possessions to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim [Gods] that were her father’s.
20 Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
21 So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 He pursued him seven days’ journey and overtook him.
24 God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him,
“Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob [going] from good to bad.”
