The Wrestler, Genesis 32 OTS1:E25

Jacob, fearful of Esau's fury, does all he can to protect his young family from the murderous wrath of his brother. In this episode, Jacob offers us a great pattern for prayer. He begs God for mercy, appealing to God's character, not his personal righteousness. God Himself appears to answer his prayer and the two end up wrestling all night long. Jacob prevailed over God, refusing to let go of Him until he received a blessing. God left Jacob with a painful reminder of his stubbornness and a promise to work all things out despite Jacob's fear and wrestlings.
