Jacob's Prayer of Petition and Trust
Genesis 32:9-12
9
And Jacob saith, `God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:
10
I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant--for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11
`Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me--mother beside sons;
12
and Thou--Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'
