Wrestling With Oursleves

Jacob found himself in a wrestling match. 

With an unknown person. 

But he would not give up. 

And because he persevered he was blessed

And came out victorious. 

Sometimes we find ourselves in a wrestling match. 

With loneliness and depression;

Or suffering and illness;

Or some other struggle. 

Like Jacob we must not give up,

But persevere through the dark of night. 

We may come out of it a little wounded like Jacob did. 

But only those who persevere are victorious.
