Jabez's prayer is effective because God granted him his request, indicating it was aligned with God's will.
The effectiveness of Jabez's prayer is evidenced by the statement that 'God granted him that which he requested' (1 Chronicles 4:10). This affirmation shows that Jabez was not only bold in his petitions but also approached God with the right heart attitude and motives. Throughout Scripture, God responds favorably to prayers that align with His will, demonstrating that Jabez sought not only personal benefit but also a broader implication for godly influence. His humble submission to God's authority highlights a key principle in prayer: when we align our requests with God's will, we can expect Him to respond with grace and provision.
