"Wrestling with God" - Genesis 32:22-32 (September 6, 2015)

1. Have someone read the passage aloud.
2. Ryan said that we all have places in our lives where we feel like we're in "head lock." Where is that place right now for you?
3. In that place, how do you see God working?
4. How does this passage show us Jacob's desperation?
5. Why is Jacob's desperation good?
6. Think about a situation where you've felt desperate, what is it that you cling to? What are you prone to grasp hold of when you're desperate?
7. How does God restore Jacob's courage in this passage and how does he do the same for us?
