1 Chronicles 4:9-10 And Jabez was more honorable than his brothers: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with sorrow.… I. THE PRAYER before us. Very striking is the ardour of expression contained in these words, "Bless me"; "Bless me"; "Bless me indeed"; Oh, that Thou wouldest bless me"; and "Oh I that Thou wouldest bless me indeed." II. OUR ENCOURAGEMENT TO PRAY THE SAME. "God granted Jabez that which he requested." This shows us — 1. That God heareth prayer. 2. That God answereth prayer. 3. That God will grant us that which we request of Him.Address: 1. Any among you who may live prayerlessly. 2. Any of you who may pray formally. 3. Any of you who do truly pray. (W. Mudge, B. A.)
