This section goes from 32:1-21 and covers the topic of Jacob's progressive growth in faith.

In vv. 1-2 we learned that 1) Believers can take comfort from God’s presence through angelic messengers.

Then, in vv. 3-8 we saw that 2) Believers may face threatening and dangerous situations.

Now, in vv. 9-12 we learn that 3) Believers may pray for God’s protection with confidence. We discover a great formula for prayer in these verses.

And in vv. 13-21 we see that 4) A lack of faith may cost the believer more than is necessary.
