Those who are born of God (John 1:13) have an identity in Christ which is not derived from race or nationality, nor from family or culture, nor our own ingenuity. This is a birthright which comes only when we receive Christ as the One Isaiah called our Eternal Father (Isaiah 9:6). For only a Father can give the right to be called a child. Only the Father's blessing can be the blessing of a birthright. So, ultimately, everyone must wrestle with God for the Father's blessing, that is, our personal identity as a child of God. And we must wrestle with God for the blessing as Jacob did (Genesis 32) - an intensive seeking, believing, and receiving from God in a face-to-face encounter. This type of engagement with God gives us faith, enables us to own or personalize our God-given identity, and brings us into a rest - a spiritual place where we cease from our own works of putting forth an adopted persona and enter into a secure authenticity that only comes from finding your personal identity in Christ.
