Wrestling with God in the Wilderness

Genesis 32:22 – 31
Matthew 14:13 – 21

Questions to reflect on this week:

  • In what way might God want to turn my focus away from myself and more toward God?
  • How willing am I to enter and stay in the wilderness for as long as God needs me to be there?
  • In what way do I try to shorten the experience, so that I might get out as soon as possible?
  • To what extent do I see wrestling with God more in terms of me wrestling with him, and how might my understanding of the wilderness change, if I looked at it more as a time when God is wrestling with me?
  • What work might God be trying to bring about in me- who might God be wanting me to recognize?
