I had read once that it was when Jacob finally wearied entirely of the wrestling and simply clung in a surrendered clinging - that God finally relented and touched Jacob with blessing.
When the wrestle is finally wrought out of your soul - and self is simply spent - and the struggle slips into surrender - and you know you are truly beat - and empty hands grasp tight hold of the Giver and you cling not for your cause but you cling for your survival - herein lies the moment when Giver gives gift and struggle of surrender ends in another saint.
If the wrestling has wearied you - and the fight has finally fled from you - hold Him in clinging grasp of soul surrendered. And know in your final defeat you have entered into True Victory.
For defeated soul is surely a victorious saint.
Do not despise the loss of strength in self, for when the last penny of strength is spent, know you have entered into the Secret Place of Sacred Strength.
