“But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me” (v26). On his way back to Canaan with his wives, children, and flocks, Jacob encountered his brother Esau with “four hundred men” (v6). Faced with his own fear (and the consequences of his lying and deceiving), Jacob “was left alone” (v24). That night Jacob had a mysterious divine encounter, a struggle that resulted in Jacob receiving a new name and being permanently marked (v28, 31). 

“O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac ...” (v9). God works his mighty purposes through the lives of those who trust Him, one by one. Through Jacob’s desperate, personal, “face to face” struggle, the God of his ancestors became his own God (v30).
