Prayer is not a passive suggestion box where we drop our requests and walk away. It's a dynamic, personal interaction with God that requires perseverance and engagement. When we look at Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, we see a powerful image of what prayer should be - a determined, passionate striving with God until He blesses us.
Why did God condescend to wrestle with Jacob? To teach us that He has given us agency and desires for us to strive with Him. Prayer is wrestling with God to see Him break through in our lives, to take hold of His promises, and to be changed by Him.
