Wrestling in Prayer
July 27, 2022
Scripture speaks often of wrestling. Few know much of this incredibly demanding sport. It’s not a big arena draw. One on one on the mat alone. Six minutes that matter. With 3 grandsons who excelled at wrestling I’ve learned a thing or two.
It’s much about leverage. Consider Colossians 4: 121 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.
He wrestled in prayer? Consider what’s needed for successful wrestling. Leverage for one thing. Correct leverage magnifies returns. Consider using Scripture for leverage in prayer.
Remind God of your trust in Him. Leverage the armor of God. Lord, I’m claiming each piece. Help me stand firm.
