Learning to Pray Like Habakkuk
Read Habakkuk 1:12-2:1
Habakkuk is wrestling with God. Remember that his name means ‘embrace.’ Not a passionate, loving embrace, like a hug, but the embrace of a man who is being rescued, holding on to his rescuer… Genesis 32:24 Like Jacob, Habakkuk wrestles with God in prayer, – over great issues that he does not understand. How can a God whose essential nature is love and holiness and mercy and justice possibly conceive a plan to use a wicked nation to chastise a nation whom he loves. So once again, Habakkuk runs to God and wrestles with him in prayer.
