Contributed by Shashi Marian on Feb 11, 2026

Communication is the lifeline of any relationship. Prayer is a mighty weapon given by God so that we could communicate with Him each day. I have realised that more than we our God is more interested in communicating with us. And Prayer is such tool that bridges the gap between man and God.

1 Chronicles 4:9, 10 talks about the Prayer of Jabez. Very significant Prayer by an insignificant individual. The name of Jabez appears only twice in the Bible, yet his Prayer is well looked upto. In 1 Chronicles 2:55 the term Jabez is referred to a place. The literal meaning of the word Jabez ...read more

Never Unloved Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 2, 2002

Some receive love, but reject it; others never know that they are loved. In either case, the Cross is evidence that we have never been unloved.
