1. How faulty thinking can ruin your life Ideas have power: "Eve was not hit with a stick by Satan, she was hit by an idea" ...an invitation to faulty thinking 2. A faulty concept of God is dangerous "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us...we tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God". A.W. Tozer

Our Heavenly Father invites us to wrestle with Him, certainly not because it’s a fair match and also not so that we can be overwhelmed by His strength. The reason God wants us to wrestle with Him – particularly in prayer – is because the wrestling exercises our faith. It tests our spiritual resilience and shows us what we’re able to do and to endure by faith. Wrestling with God is good for us and for our relationship with Him. That’s important for us to remember when the wrestling becomes painful and difficult and we wonder about its purpose. Just know that the whole time you are wrestling with God, you are also in the safest place possible. You are being held in His arms.
