We fear that many treat prayer like flipping a coin. They seek to enter and exit the presence of God with a light hearted attitude. Jacob was brought to a state of desperation before he prayed desperate prayers. There are good reasons why God demands desperate praying.

“ Great Sermon! ” God demands great energy when we pray..and this is spiritual exercise, a gift from God. When we understand the nature of desperate praying, we conclude that many people really don't have a prayer life. This is wonderful sermon because it teaches us how we ought to pray if we would be strong Christians. When Jacob prayed at Peniel, we see he did NOT insist on things (a bigger house, a new job), he insisted on receiving God's blessing. Indeed, God will move mountains when we pray according to God's will and to give God the glory. As Jesus said, "With men these things are impossible, but with God all things are possible." But there was much, much more I was blessed with from this indepth sermon and for many more reasons I highly recommend it.
