He wrestled with the angel and prevailed.

“Yes, he (Jacob) wrestled with the angel and prevailed;
He wept and sought His (The Lord God’s) favor”

——Hosea 12:4 (New American Standard Bible)

Dearest Father, We have no God but you. We can call on no one else to save us. We praise You for taking care of us in the dry and thirsty land of diificult experiences. Teach us to always live in confident dependence on You for all our needs instead of trying to get ahead by our own means and abilities. We plead You, as Jacob did, for a special blessing from You. Let us feel Your hand of blessing on our lives today. Look up on us today with favor and multitude of Your loving-kindness so that we may be strengthened in You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
