The Wrestle Within

If we would all be honest, most if not all of us have something in our lives that we're wrestling with. It could be something physical in regards to your health. You could be wrestling with something financial, emotional, relational, or even spiritual. But more than likely, all of us have something that represents the "wrestle within."

Believe it or not, God allows these various wrestles and struggles in our lives to help sponsor the growth and development that He wants to transpire in us and in our relationship with Him. A lot of times, when we're wrestling with something, we identify it as something being wrong; not necessarily. It may actually represent the wrestle in your life that God has ordained to facilitate the fulfillment of His Divine will and purpose for your life.

The key to dealing with the wrestle within is resolution. So many times, many of us, when we're wrestling with things, just suppress and deny the struggle and anxiety, and the pain that we're experiencing regarding the nature of our wrestle. This is not the will of God. God wants us to acknowledge the wrestle within, and bring it to Him. But in order to surrender your wrestle to The Father, we must first identify and acknowledge the wrestle in the first place.

If anybody knows about the wrestle within, it is Jesus. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus wrestled with fulfilling God's Divine Will for His life, and completing the Mission He had been assigned to complete. That's why He said in the 22nd chapter of the Gospel of Saint Luke, "Father...remove this cup from Me." But Jesus resolved His wrestle with the statement, "not My will but Thine be done."

Saints, the resolution of the wrestle within can be found in surrendering your wrestle not just to God  but to the will of God. God has a purpose for the wrestle, but He also has a resolution for the wrestle that will bring Him Glory, and bring you peace. Don't just continue to wrestle and struggle, seek God for direction and His ordained resolution for your wrestle within.
