Prayer: Our Dust-Covered Serenade with God

The boombox serenade isn’t just a creative way of saying “I’m sorry” or “I love you”.

It’s an obnoxious, annoying, persistent way of saying “I’m not letting you go. You can’t give me the silent treatment forever. I’m going to keep blasting this music until you take me back. I’m not leaving until you talk to me face to face.”

We see that kind of persistence in Jacob - as he would not let go of God. Literally. Not until he knew God wasn’t going to let go of him.

And in the story of that dust-covered serenade where Jacob wrestles with God himself, God shows Jacob - and us as well - that we can cling to God with confidence.
