In his latest devotional, Joseph Prince dives into the profound truth that God delights in hearing and answering our prayers. Drawing from Matthew 7:7-11, Prince emphasizes the generosity and loving nature of our Heavenly Father, who invites us to ask, seek, and knock with the promise of receiving.

The devotional highlights the story of Jabez from 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. Despite his unfortunate name meaning “sorrow,” Jabez boldly asked God for blessings, enlargement of territory, protection, and presence. Contrary to some religious beliefs that discourage “selfish” prayers, God granted Jabez’s requests without rebuke or conditions, illustrating His readiness to bless those who ask in faith.

Prince encourages believers to shed erroneous beliefs about God and to confidently approach Him with their needs and desires. He underscores that God’s joy is in blessing His children and that withholding our requests might be limiting the blessings and breakthroughs He desires to bestow upon us.
