wrestling with God
When our will and God's will are in conflict, whose will will we submit to?
God isn't "nice." He will assault us with His love and grace and present us with things that we don't want to hear or do.
Don't be afraid of all the doubts and fears and worries because it allows us to come to God and turn things over to Him. God allows us to wrestle with Him and for us to get closer to Him that way.
Even when we put off our wrestling matches with God... He waits patiently because he loves us and wants to transform us. Him waiting isn't a threat. It's a promise of love.
