Wrestling with God Week 5

Written By Kylee Breems

Questions

  • Pray and invite God into this time with Him.

  • Read Genesis 32:22-24.

  • Have you ever had a time in your life where you felt totally alone? What emotions were you feeling during that time? 

  • When you were in that lonely time in your life, did you feel God’s presence? If not, looking back now, can you see where God was moving in your life during that time? 

  • Read Genesis 32:24-28. 

  • When was the last time you wrestled with God about something? Have you ever considered walking away from Him instead of wrestling with Him about something? 

  • If you let Him, God will change you into a new person and give you a new name. How does that make you feel, especially when considering mistakes or decisions you’ve made in your past? 

  • Read Genesis 32:28-30.

  • Even though Jacob made lots of mistakes, God still used him and actually had him be a part of the family line that led to Jesus being born. How does knowing that God can use anyone for His good encourage you? 


Spiritual Practice
Prayer: Spend time in prayer with God. Thank Him for being there for you even in the loneliest moments of life. Ask Him to give you the strength it takes to wrestle with Him about things instead of walking away from Him. Thank Him for giving you a new name in Him.
