And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. (1 Chronicles 4:10)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Ephesians 1:3)

Passion is required when we pray to the Lord

Jabes, a character from the Bible, had a difficult childhood due to being named after his mother's painful childbirth. However, he realized he could turn to God for help and called upon the powerful God of Israel. Jabes' passionate cry for a blessing shows the importance of intensity and urgency in prayer. The Bible is filled with examples of desperate characters who take power from God through their unwavering faith and focus. We must cultivate that sense of passion and focus in our own prayer lives to receive blessings from God. Read more...
