God reminded Jacob of his new name, Israel, which meant "one who struggles with God" although Jacob's life was littered with difficulties and trials, his new name was a tribute to his desire to stay close to God despite life's disappointment.
Many people believe that Christianity should offer a problem--free life. Cosequently, as life gets tough, they draw back disappointed. Instead, they should determine to prevail with God through life's storms. Problem and difficulties are painful but inevitable; you might as well see them oppurtunities for growth. You can prevail with God unless you have troubles to prevail over.
