THE PRAYER OF JABEZ
8:38 am

Scripture for today
1 Chronicles 4 v 9-10... Jabez was honorable above his brothers; but his mother named him Jabez [sorrow maker], saying, Because I bore him in pain. Jabez cried to the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his request. [KJV]
It is one thing to experience challenges, and another to admit something needs to be done about such difficulty. As God's children and joint-heir with Jesus (Roms 8:17) we have access to solutions to all our troubles. Only if we understood how our father operates.
Our God is a prayer answering God.
Heb 11:6. God doesn't not answer prayers because you prayed to him. He answers prayers because when one pray such one believes that God answers prayers.
Now incase you didn't know there are three ways God answers prayers
1. Wait
2. No
3. Yes
Surprised? Abraham and Sarah had to wait for years to concieve after God had promised to bless them-Heb 11:1.
Remember David the second King of Israel always asked God's leading before going to battle. There were times God told him to go ahead and sometimes 'not yet' and gave another strategy. God our father would never let us hurt ourselves but we must submit to His leading.
Do you know why you are passing through such a test? I think you should look at the bright side of negatives at all times. He is working things for your good. Trust him!
Prayer: Father, I look up to you for all that I need, thank you for always answering my prayers.
