What kind of prayer does God actually respond to?

In 1 Chronicles 4, buried in a long list of names, one man stands out. Jabez prays a simple but powerful prayer—and God answers him.

But this isn’t about a formula. It’s about the heart behind the prayer.

In this message, we explore what made Jabez’s prayer different, what it reveals about God, and how a humble, selfless heart changes the way we pray. When our desires begin to align with God’s, our prayers become more than words—they become a cry for God to work through us.
