Wrestling with God and Still Being Loved

There are moments in life when we find ourselves wrestling with God—questioning His ways, His timing, and even His presence. Jacob knew this struggle well. In Genesis 32, he wrestled all night with the angel of the Lord, desperate for a blessing. He walked away with a limp, but also with a new name—Israel, "one who struggles with God." That story reminds us that God is not afraid of our wrestling. He invites us to bring our questions, our pain, and even our doubts to Him.

The beautiful truth is this: even in the struggle, you are deeply loved. God doesn't reject you for your honesty or weakness. Romans 8:38 –39 says nothing—neither doubts, fears, nor struggles—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Wrestling with Him doesn't push Him away; in fact, it often draws us closer.

If you are wrestling today, take comfort: you are not disqualified by your questions. You are embraced by a God who meets you in the night, who can handle your tears, and who loves you enough to stay with you until morning light. His love is stronger than your struggle—and He is not letting go.
