1 Chronicles 4:10
"And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."
What exactly does this mean? That God answers prayer if we ask. Granted, God can always say no but he can also say yes. Just ask...
