Activity
Read the Bible story of Jacob wrestling with the heavenly being in Genesis 32:22-31. When have you wrestled with God for a blessing? Perhaps you have tried to pin down a sense of God’s presence during a dark night of the soul, or a time when your prayers were born out of desperation. Write down words that describe what such spiritual wrestling feels like.
