In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,
Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ 10I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant.
But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’ ”
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
Lord God my Father,
Give me a proper fear that rest in your will, bless my actions moving forward and separate me from the past actions that did not bring you glory. Cause me to prosper in my efforts to release your Glory in all I do and bless my family beyond any expectations. Keep me from vengeance for those who offend me. Let me allow your plan to play out.
