Here is a prayer for your understanding of God’s Word. Pray this prayer daily before you read the Bible, or something similar in your own words.
“Heavenly Father, Thank you for Your precious Word, which gives life and truth. I ask that You send Your Spirit to illuminate my understanding as I read Your scriptures. Open my mind and heart to receive Your revelation, so that I may behold the wondrous things in Your Word and grow in wisdom.
Please, grant me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Help me to not be dulled or hardened in my understanding, but to have my spiritual ears opened to hear what You are saying to me. May Your Word be a light to my path and a lamp to my feet, and may I be able to apply its truth to my daily life.
Help me to discern the truth from lies and to walk in a way that is pleasing to You. Remind me of Your loving promises and give me strength to obey Your commands, lest I be carried away by deceitful schemes. In Jesus’ name, Amen”.
Connect With the Word 
God always knows. Impossible situations are made possible through Him. This passage reminds me that He does hear me and to never lose hope.
It’s a great reminder to lean on Him and not on my own understanding.

We see God moving in the Israelites right from the start of Exodus. When the Israelites are being oppressed, He grows their nation. When the baby boys lives are in danger, he protects them through the midwives. When Moses is put in the bushes he is unknowingly given back to his own mom to nurse him and to teach him the ways of the Lord. And at the end of chapter 2 we see God hears their grumblings and takes notice of the difficult labor.
In different translations this will read differently – but for the Lord to “take notice” means to know, to perceive and see and discern, to know by experience, to recognize, admit, acknowledge or confess, to have respect for. It is a verb, meaning there was action on God’s part. He cared!!! And He was going to do something about this.
This reminds me that daily I need to remember, to think upon how God knows what I am going through but He wants to hear from me about it. He wants me to trust Him more than my friends and family with the details. He wants to show me how much He cares for me, and has a plan. I have to not get ahead of that plan.
