OT: 1Chronicles 4:9-10
There was a man named Jabez, who was the most respected member of his family. His mother had given him the name Jabez, because his birth had been very painful. But Jabez prayed to the God of Israel, "Bless me, God, and give me much land. Be with me and keep me from anything evil that might cause me pain." And God gavehim what he prayed for.

NT: 1John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.

Points for meditation:
• Even if your name and your past spell out failure, praying to the God of Israel will cultivate the transformation you desire! He can give you what you pray for.
• Effectual prayer starts by knowing God’s will and having it settled in our hearts that He pays attention to our prayers.
