Read Genesis 32:26 – Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Jacob was faced with a serious threat against his family. He devised a plan to change his situation and then committed the plan to prayer. He wrestled with the Lord all night. Finally at daybreak he received his blessing. Jacob held onto the Lord until he got his answer, even though it left him crippled. A dad's ability to protect can only go so far in this life. Then there comes time for every dad to wrestle with the Lord for the children God has given him. Prayer is mightier than the sword. No man can win unless he contends in the battlefield of prayer. The battle is won in prayer!
