"Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because

you have struggled with God and with men and have

overcome." Genesis 32:28

Oh the power of private prayer! It has a kind of omnipotence in

it; it takes God captive; it holds Him as a prisoner; it binds the

hands of the Almighty! Yes, it will wrench a mercy, a blessing,

out of the hand of heaven itself! Oh the power of that prayer

which makes a man victorious over the greatest, the highest

power! Jacob, though a man, a single man, a traveling man,

a tired man, yes, though a worm, which is easily crushed and

trodden under foot--yet in private prayer he is so potent, that

he overcomes the omnipotent God! He is so mighty, that he

overcomes the Almighty!
