Genesis 32 & 33
When Jacob neared his meeting with Esau, it seemed that he lacked a lot of faith. God had already promised Jacob that he would become great within the land of his father, but still, Jacob prayed that God would not allow Esau to kill him. He reminded himself of God's promise, but still took measures to pacify Esau.
Jacob wrestled with God that night. He wrestled until dawn and wouldn't stop until God blessed him. He was wretched and faithless in the face of God's promises, but he still was allowed the privilege of experiencing God face-to-face. God still blessed him.
Lord, show me how to wrestle.
