In Part 2 of our Pray First series, Pastor Alvin walks through the Prayer of Jabez and shows how bold, faith-filled prayer positions us to live beyond our past, our shame, and our self-sufficiency. Jabez’s life began with pain, but his prayer pointed toward blessing, influence, and purpose. This message challenges us to trust God’s heart, ask for His blessing without fear, depend on His presence, and walk in His protection. Because when we pray first, we stop leaning on ourselves and start living as people called to make an eternal difference. Prayer isn’t passive. It’s how we align our lives with a God who is more than enough. Scripture References:

1 Chronicles 4:9–10 (The Prayer of Jabez)
Genesis 12:3
Genesis 26:12–13
2 Corinthians 10:15–16
Acts 11:21
Psalm 3:1–3
