1 Chr 4:10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, \u201cOh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.\u201d And God granted his request.<\/p>\n
Ranked among the shortest answered prayers in the bible is Jabez’s prayer. The prayer of Jabez is one of the greatest prayers ever prayed. Born in pain and constraint ,he approached God with specificity and precision .God in his tender caring heart ,answered him.<\/p>\n
Have you ever tried to pray over certain issues and felt that God has more important issues to handle than your little problems? Though size of prayer matters, It\u2019s not the single most important factor that counts. It\u2019s WHO I\u2019m praying to and the faith in Him. Any other way of looking at it is a deception from the devil who would have us think that God assesses our requests with some kind of eternal measuring tool, ranking prayers with levels of importance(Susan Allen Panzica). \u201cWith God, no problem is too big and no detail is too small.\u201d ( Woodrow Kroll)<\/p>\n
From Jabez case study,you don’t have to pray very long in order to pray with power and direct results. Do you need to go to the Lord today with some specific request ? Don’t beat around the bush, . Tell God exactly what’s on your mind. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Say it just like the way you’d say it to any other friend. The secret ingredient of prayer that God answers starts with faith in Him .<\/p>\n
