In Genesis 32 we read of Jacob’s fear of his brother Esau.  “And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and there are four hundred men with him.” Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps,” (Gen 32:6-7)  Their meeting was not how Jacob envisioned it, “But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.” (Gen 33:4)  Jacob had worried about nothing.  But he did one thing right, as we all should do he prayed to God and trusted in Him.
