Q3a: In Genesis 32, before Jacob became Israel (he struggle with God) when he wrestled with God over night, he prayer fervantly for his favor by trusting him for the blessings and the fullfilment of the promise but Jacob still resorted to his human nature in order to reconcile with his brother. Though the wreslting match ended with a draw, he still got the permanet scar of limb in his hip, nonetheless, God still blessed him whereby Israel abided by God's will by asking forgiveness from Esau. Jacob understood the trust in God by patiently waiting for the answer in his physical struggle and he finally came to realization that trusting God and be blessed by God is better than resorting to his way because there is a penalty to the struggle with God.

The reflection through the Bible can only gives us the answer to our transitions of life in the life of web of relationships between God and you, you and God and you and a fellowman. All will be good in the eyes of God through the prayers. There should be no theological argument as to if or when God delivers. He does.

As we are called the gentiles, children of God, should pray for those who are the believers and as well as for the non believers following the relationships discerned through the Greatest Commandment of Jesus Christ. Q2B: Moses used the Decalogue to base his prayer and the trust He had with God (He understood the relationship he had with God in the first four laws). We should use the Lord
