Dr. Jordan Rogers continues preaching through The Book of Genesis in this sermon on Genesis 32:1-12 entitled, "Three Exhortations Unto Faith-Filled Prayer."

Jacob was a man who was driven to his knees in prayer through the struggles and hardships of life. As he approached his brother Esau after 20 years of separation, he became exceedingly fearful that Esau would attack him. The weight of this burden overwhelmed Jacob and brought him to a time of faith-filled prayer to the Lord.

There are at least three things we see in Jacob’s prayer, as recorded in Genesis 32:1-12. We see that Jacob’s prayer was a confession of dependence, a plea for deliverance, and a repetition of Divine promise. As an example, Jacob’s prayer serves to teach us in life and prayer to entrust ourselves to the mercy of God, the sovereignty of God, and the Word of God.
