(I Chronicles 4: 9-10) "And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that thous 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." I have been reading the book "The Prayer of Jabez" Written By: Bruce Wilkinson. I recommend this book to everyone I see. The book is only 92 pages long, but it is a book that will change you way of praying. I will give you a little history then explain what Mr. Wilkinson says about Jabez. I Chronicles 4 start out with the Descendants of Judah; then when it gets to Jabez, it stops and the two verses above are quoted. Jabez had to be a man after God's on heart. This is the only place in the Bible that Jabez is mention. So this prayer that Jabez said touch heaven. Clearly quotes Mr. Wilkinson", the outcome can be traced to Jabez prayer. Something about Jabez's simple, direct request to God changed his life and left a permanent mark on the history books of Israel. At first glance, the four requests may strike you as sincere, sensible, even noble, but not terribly remarkable. Yet just under the surface of each lies a giant paradigm breaker that runs exactly opposite to the way you and I usually think." In this book the Prayer of Jabez's requests can release something miraculous in your life. Please get this book and read it. It has changed my life and my prayer life. Do not think you are being selfish in praying this way. God as I have said is a good God and is just waiting to Bless his children. Dear Father God, I thank you for such wonderful day. I thank you for forgiving me of my sins. An from this day forward I will be adding the Prayer of Jabez to my prayer life. I pray that You will Bless me and my family Indeed, Enlarge my territory, Let Your hand be on me and my family, Keep us from evil and keep us from grief. Lord, you blessed Jabez and I believe in your promises to bless me and my family. Now lead me where you would have me go. Teach me what you would have me do. I praise you and bless Your Name, In Jesus Name I pray Amen and Amen Amen and Amen
