Bible in a Year:
Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
Dennis’ life was transformed after someone gave him a New Testament. Reading it captivated him, and it became his constant companion. Within six months, two life-changing events occurred in his life. He placed his faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of his sins, and he was diagnosed with a brain tumor after experiencing severe headaches. Because of the unbearable pain, he became bedridden and unable to work. One painful, sleepless night he found himself crying out to God. Sleep finally came at 4:30 a.m.
Bodily pain can cause us to cry out to God, but other excruciating life circumstances also compel us to run to Him. Centuries before Dennis’ night of wrestling, a desperate Jacob faced off with God (Genesis 32:24–32). For Jacob, it was unfinished family business. He had wronged his brother Esau (ch. 27), and he feared that payback was imminent. In seeking God’s help in this difficult situation, Jacob encountered God face-to-face (32:30) and emerged from it a changed man.
And so did Dennis. After pleading with God in prayer, Dennis was able to stand up after being bedridden, and the doctor’s examination showed no signs of the tumor. Although God doesn’t always choose to miraculously heal us, we’re confident that He hears our prayers and will give us what we need for our situation. In our desperation we offer sincere prayers to God and leave the results to Him!
Reflect & Pray
What are you struggling with that you could bring before God in prayer? What are some of the benefits of praying from the depths of our hearts even when He chooses not to change the situation?
Father, help me to see that life’s difficulties and challenges are opportunities for me to seek You in prayer and to grow in my understanding of who You are.
Hi.
hi Everybody!

Thanks for the Memory--Charlie & His Orchestra (1941)
Thanks for the memory
In every German's mind
When you broke the ties that bind
And dictated a pact called the Treaty of Versailles.
How rotten that was!
Thanks for the memory
Of British aims divine,
French Negroes on the Rhine.
Your food blockade, and misery
All over the German Reich.
What an injustice that was.
Many's the time that you feasted,
And many's the time that we fasted
For you, it was swell while it lasted.
You did have fun, but harm was done.
So thanks for the memory.
It gives us strength to fight
For freedom and for right.
It might give you a headache, England,
That the Germans know how to fight
And hurt you so much.
