Listen "What Matters: Prayer, Jacob and Wrestling"
Episode Synopsis
We all have a "River Jabbok" in our lives, a place where the past, present and future collide with a whirlpool of anxiety and anticipation. Today we heard the story of Jacob coming to the river Jabbok, where he must comes to terms with the demons of his past, navigate the present and look forward to the future (Genesis 32:22-31)Here Jacob wrestles with someone else, but it is not clear who it is. Often in life, when we are wrestling at the banks of the River Jabbok, we struggle even to figure out against whom we are wrestling, but we definitely know we are wrestling. Ultimately, it is revealed that Jacob was wrestling with God. A reflection on what prayer looks like in the midst of this kind of wrestling.The artwork comes from artist Chris Cook. who tells the story of his art.
