…but what does that mean?

…I will not let you go unless You[God]  bless me!

This response clearly pleases God…

Sometimes when we want God’s comfort, he sends it in unexpected and even unwanted packages…

If necessary, God will cause us to limp to increase our faith. (and apparently our reliance on Him alone!)

God was the initiator. the wrestling drew Jacob out of his fearful preoccupation and forced him to focus on God.

 

“Do not let God go until He blesses you.”

So when God calls you to wrestle with him in prayer, it is an invitation to receive his blessing. Stay with him and don’t give up. Do not let him go until he blesses you! He loves to bless that kind of tenacious faith and you will come out transformed.
