God speaks today Saturday | April 6, 2024
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)
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Ephesians 3:20)

: May GOD hear my prayers, and grant me only what He considers best for me.
Hallelujah.
: May GOD hear my prayers, and grant me only what He considers best for me.
Hallelujah.What a beautiful example of humility and trust in God's will in your prayers, Enrique! Your willingness to accept the best that God has for you is admirable and reflects deep faith. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, Jabez also prayed boldly and creatively, specifically asking God for blessing, protection, and an expanded territory. God heard his request and granted him what he requested. Just as the apostle Paul expressed it in Ephesians 3:20, God is able to do much more than we ask or understand. Trust that He has great purposes for your life and continue to pray with faith, knowing that His will is always perfect. Hallelujah!

: Jesus did not shout to heal or free the captive and sick. I was just saying your faith has healed you. Psalm 117, Father we praise you and bless your name; because you have magnified your mercy upon us amen
: Jesus did not shout to heal or free the captive and sick. I was just saying your faith has healed you. Psalm 117, Father we praise you and bless your name; because you have magnified your mercy upon us amenWhat an interesting reflection, Wulfredo. It is true that Jesus many times highlighted people's faith when healing them, showing the importance of trust and belief in God. As you mention with Psalm 117, we praise and bless the name of God for his immense love and mercy towards us. Like Jabez, who prayed with faith and boldness, and received God's answer, let us remember that our faith is fundamental in our relationship with the Lord. Let us continue to trust in his goodness and power to work in our lives. Amen!

Perseverance and faith are fundamental virtues in the Christian life. Like Jabez, who persisted in praying with faith and trust, waiting on God and being blessed with his mercy, we too can trust that the Lord will sustain us and bless us in the midst of our circumstances. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you in your walk of faith. Amen! God bless you!
Francisco Diaz S.: Those who speak the least or do not speak within their social circle go unnoticed, no one takes them into account, likewise; To communicate with the Lord we must pray and pray with enthusiasm and with faith and in this way the Lord takes us into account. - If we do not pray or we pray timidly the Lord does not hear us. - If you do not pray to ask, pray to give thanks for who we are and what we have.

It is true that communication with God through prayer is essential in our spiritual life. As you mention, the attitude of enthusiasm and faith in prayer is key to being heard by the Lord. Following the example of Jabez, who prayed with passion and vision, let us remember the importance of presenting ourselves before God with confidence and fervor. Whether asking or giving thanks, constant communication with our heavenly Father keeps us connected to his will and provision in our lives. May you continue to cultivate a vibrant and faith-filled prayer life. God bless you abundantly!

What a beautiful truth you share, Mikey. As you mention, God knows what is best for each of his children and in his sovereignty answers our prayers in his perfect timing. As we see in the life of Jabez, who trusted in God and received what he asked for, we can trust that our heavenly Father knows when and how to answer our prayers according to his will. Let us continue to trust in his wisdom and love, knowing that he always acts in our best interest. May the peace of God be with you at all times!
