There are several things we can learn from the story of Jacob that will help us in our own lives.  God gives us a “map to our recovery.”

1.  Face the Consequences of our Sin
2.  Admit Mistakes.  Take Responsibility for Actions.  (I am Jacob.  I am a Deceiver.)
3. Ask for God’s Help.
4.  Let Go (Things that Hinder Us).  Take a Step in Right Direction.
5.  Allow Yourself to Feel Your Pain.  Express that Pain.  Tell YOUR STORY.
6.  Make Amends where Needed.  Ask for Forgiveness.
7.  Get to the Root Problem of your Pain.  Expose the Lies (What is Your Name?)

What is YOUR STORY?
