Book of Mormon Alma 8:10
"wrestling with God in mighty prayer"
Book of Mormon Enos 1:2
"the wrestle which I had before God"

Shared words: God

Two record scenes of wrestling in prayer: Enos 1:2 'the wrestle which I had before God' and Alma 8:10 'wrestling with God in mighty prayer' - both intercessory. (The label wrestle-before-God is not verbatim in either verse; each verse's own words are quoted here.) The corpus's other wrestling scene is Jacob's at Genesis 32:24-25 ('there wrestled a man with him … as he wrestled with him'), a physical struggle rather than prayer. Back-ref enos-jacobson.md.
