Do you think that God is fighting against you? Trust that whenever God seems to be fighting against you, He is actually fighting for you. He is your loving Father and always will be. Only sometimes does He act as if He were an enemy — as He once did with Jacob — in order to challenge you to a persevering battle of faith. Like Jacob, you should constantly repeat, ‘I will not let You go, unless You bless me.’ God wants you to emerge victorious from such wrestling in faith. He wants to make you a channel of blessing, one to whom He can entrust great commissions. (Genesis 32)
