Genesis 32: Jacob Struggles with God

During Jacob's journey home from Laban he spent a night where he wrestled with God.  He struggled with God and God touched the socket of his hip and it caused him pain.  It was at this point that God changed Jacob's name to Israel.  We will not all physically struggle/wrestle with God, but we will all have times in our in our lives where we struggle through something with God.  When you come upon those times recognize what God leaves you with when you overcome.  He may not change your name or leave a permanent physical mark on your body, but your struggles will leave you changed.  Changed in a blessed way if you have come through with God.
