For believers, prayer should be common. But at times, it must be much more than just a casual conversation. When circumstances demand that we relate to God with more than words, we must bring our full selves to the table.
Jacob’s encounter with God (in Genesis 32) sounds extraordinary, but it reflects something that should be completely normal for us. It is the struggle of prayer that we so often avoid - opting for something else more comfortable and convenient.
Nevertheless, our access to God leaves room for a more aggressive faith, paving the way to the type of encounter that promises to change our lives forever.
