Do we find ourselves to be like Jacob as we wrestle with God in our prayers? Do we confront a terrible situation in our lives and pray as if it were our demanding prayer that would force the hand of the Lord to act? In reality it was not the wrestling that won the blessing for Jacob, and it will not be our forceful petitions that will win a blessing for us either. It will be the humble act of faithfully holding onto God. Are we ready to be battered, bruised, and have our hip put out of place in forceful and demanding prayer, only to find God’s answer comes by yielding everything except our faith in Him?
