Jacob's wrestling at Peniel
(20) And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us, For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
(21) So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
(22) And he rose up that night and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabook.
(23) And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
(24) And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
(25) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
(26) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said; I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
(27) And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
ADDENDUM:
Jacob wrestled with a man, but it was God who fought with him; perchance, is God speaking to you in your troubles?
