Today's Devotion:

365 Daily Devotions: Bible Character Edition

💁🏻 Jacob Wrestles with God – From Jacob into Israel
Jacob was running from his past and afraid of his future. He had tricked his brother Esau years before, and now he was about to meet him again. On a dark night, Jacob was left alone, and a mysterious Man wrestled with him until morning. This was not just a physical fight. God was dealing with Jacob’s heart. Jacob had always trusted his own strength and clever plans, but that night God weakened him so he would learn to depend fully on Him. Jacob did not win by strength; he received a blessing by holding on in faith. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel, showing that He was changing Jacob’s life from the inside out.

📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 32:22–32

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Father God, like Jacob, I come to You in my weakness and desperation. Strip away my reliance on people and teach me to seek You alone. I thank You that You meet me in my darkest moments and lovingly come down to my level, even when my faith is small. Help me be honest before You—no masks, no pretenses—just a surrendered heart. I confess who I truly am and cling to You, trusting that You bless those who depend on You. Give me a new identity shaped by Your grace, not my past. Change me deeply, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
