The document contains several Bible passages discussing trusting God and allowing his transformation. It begins with verses emphasizing that God will complete the good work he started. Another passage encourages persevering to receive God's promises. Jacob sends messengers to his brother Esau, prays for protection, and wrestles alone with God until receiving a blessing. The conclusion exhorts readers to trust God's presence by paying attention, trust his promises through prayer, trust his plan by pausing, and stop fighting God by letting his power rest on them as God is at work.
