He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
He took his brother by the heel while still in the womb, and afterward by his strength he gained power with God. That strength with God came through earnest prayer and clinging to Him, so that prevailing with God stands as both the privilege and the power of prayer. God's people may have power to prevail with Him, and receiving the Holy Spirit makes this possible as they consecrate themselves and humble themselves before God. Prevailing with God requires following the guidance of the Spirit and persevering through perplexities.
