In our Torah portion for this week (i.e., parashat Vayishlach), we read how Jacob wrestled with a mysterious “Man†until the break of dawn, and refused to let go until he had secured God’s blessing (Gen. 32:24-26). This climactic moment marked a “rebirth†experience for Jacob as signified by his new name “Israel†(יִשְׂרָ×ֵל), meaning “one who has striven (שָׂרָה) with God (×ֱלהִי×) and prevailed†(Gen. 32:28). It is fascinating to notice that Jacob was not renamed “God-fearer,†or “God-lover,†or even “man of faith,†but rather “God-wrestler†– one who struggles with God until the blessing comes… As Yeshua said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness†– that is, for those who struggle and search for truth – “for they shall be filled†(Matt. 5:6). The blessing comes with a wound, however. The limp that Jacob acquired constantly reminded him of his ongoing need for God’s help as he walked through this life.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
