Looking back at your notes, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you?
Share about a time when God fulfilled a request you made of Him in prayer. Conversely, share about a time when you prayed fervently but God refused to fulfill your request. How might God use both experiences to grow our faith?
What can we learn from Jabez’s prayer about the requests we should make of God when we pray? Does God always answer our prayers? Why or why not?
Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. While God granted Jabez’s prayer for deliverance, God did not grant a similar request made by the apostle Paul. Why did God grant Jabez his request but refuse Paul his? What does this tell us about God? About prayer?
Read John 14:13-14: What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name? What does it mean to pray according to His will?
Should we pray to God for land like Jabez did? Should we pray for a bigger house or more money? How might Jesus’ teaching on prayer in these verses inform our requests?
Read Psalm 37:3-6: If you were to analyze the content and frequency of your prayers, what would they communicate about your understanding of God and your faith in Him? What steps can you take to ensure that your prayers more accurately reflect Jesus’ teaching?
