The Lord is saying, “It is time to start dealing with the difficult
questions and to stop putting off dealing with challenging questions
about me. I know your exact thoughts, and I am releasing confidence in
you to come with difficult things and work them through with me. It is
safe for you to wrestle with me. As you do this, I am building your
maturity day by day. Your character is becoming stronger, more
steadfast, and the limitations placed on you are being removed.
So, where you have sunk under physical exhaustion, fears and struggles
that cause you to feel ineffective for my Kingdom, recognise the enemy
at work and resist him.
Do not be weighed down by these challenges, fears and exhaustion. Come
to me. Work with me, and I will show you solutions. It is good to
wrestle with me into a breakthrough.”
Psalm 13: 2; 5 NIV
V2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have
sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
V5 But I trust in your unfailing love; My heart rejoices in your
Salvation.
Genesis 32: 24-26 MSG
But Jacob stayed behind by himself, and a man wrestled with him until
daybreak. When the man saw that he couldn’t get the best of Jacob as
they wrestled, he deliberately threw Jacob’s hip out of the joint. The
man said, ” Let me go, it’s daybreak.” Jacob said, ” I’m
not letting you go ’til you bless me.’
