When Esav set forth to attack Yacov, Yacov did three things. He prayed, sent gifts to Esav as a bribe, and prepared for war. How can it be that Yacov would think the others would work if prayer did not? Rather we can learn from here a tremendous lesson in how to live. We cannot rely on a miracle, certainly Yacov’s prayers were that the bribe or warfare would succesfully save him. Also we cannot rely on our own devices either and the prayer is a needed component of success.
