God heard and answered Jacob's prayer. He will hear yours as well. Prayer is the oil that makes the engine of reconcilliation run. Prayer will change our sour attitude and dissolve our resistance. Prayer will soften the heart of another Prayer will effect circumstances so they are most conducive to reconciliation.
Prayer can even help heal memories after the possibility for reconciliation has past.
Prayer is bringing God's power into our lives and the lives of those around us. The next day, Jacob divides his group even further and prepares an elaborate gift for his brother. Jacob wants Esau to know that he wants to be reconciled. The one who once stole his brother's birthright is now trying to make things up to his brother. If you have wronged someone you need to make right that wrong before you can hope to make the relationship right again.
