In this week's message about prayer from 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we learn that prayer is not just an obligation but an opportunity to express our devotion and dependence on God. Through Jabez's prayer, we see that God responds to hearts that reach rather than settle, and that prayer is our way of cooperating with God's plan. Pastor Chris emphasizes that our lives can be as big as God rather than staying as small as our limited vision.
