Then the man said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said to him, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then he said to the man, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.” Genesis 32:26-28
I seek you, my God, doing the same Jacob's prayer, because he struggled with the Lord until he obtained forgiveness. He desired the blessing that can only come from You, beloved Lord. So I now ask forgiveness for my sins, because I desire to be on good terms with the Almighty Lord. I place my life in Your hands because I desire Your care. Surely falling into Your hands is better than falling into the hands of the enemy.

Jacob's prayer was a cry for help for his afflicted soul due to the great mistake he had made, but he believed in divine forgiveness. So I seek you fervently because I will honor you with all that I have and all that I am. That's why I seek you tirelessly, my desire is to honor you absolutely, praying and trusting in your promises.
Come, my God, look inside me, search my heart and see if there is any evil and guide me along the eternal path. Change my story, just as you changed Jacob's situation, that way I will have peace in my heart. My dear Father, may the light of your Spirit fill my entire life. Make me shine, living and showing your truth.
In the great request of this patriarch I place mine, because I greatly desire to be what you want.. Certainly no human being can save himself, that is why Christ came to rescue us. So, Lord God, although I do not see a ladder like Jacob, I see by faith your holy angels working on behalf of my life. So I am grateful that the whole sky moves to help me, even though I am a weak and flawed being..

Praise the Lord, because He answered Jacob's prayer, He heard his cry, his voice that was with sincere repentance. So, I draw near to You to be stronger in faith. So, my God, in You I will always go confidently, forward to win.
When evil tries to attack me and the evil one comes with his arrows, I know that I can cry out to the Lord at any time. So I also ask for your blessing for me and my family. Place it in the heart of each of them to hold on to your promises.
Even if life brings many obstacles, I will surely cling to you. Even so, Holy Father, change my character in the same way you changed Jacob's name to Israel, a man who wrestled with God. Soon I will also be as persevering as this patriarch was, holding spiritually in your hands.
My God, Jacob's prayer changed his life, because it brought peace to his afflicted soul. Therefore, give me peace and an immense spirit of gratitude for what you have done. It is with immense gratitude that I place myself in your hands, because I know that you know my cause and how important it is to me.
As Jacob asked for your blessing and the Lord answered by changing his name, showing an eternal purpose, I want it too. But even if I don't need to change my name, I want my heart to change., I desire a new life and an experience with you, Lord. Hear, answer my prayer, I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen!
