The Prayer of Jabez

Have you heard the acclaim of “The Prayer of Jabez,” made famous through the publication of the best-selling book, “The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life” by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson with David Kopp?

“Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” 1 Chronicles 4: 9-10

I don’t know about you, but it wasn’t what I expected.

I expected something grander . . .

I expected eloquence . . .

I expected trumpets . . .

But God accepted these words from Jabez.

They are even recorded in the Bible.

Surely, he will accept my plain words, the sighings of my heart.
Hear me, Lord Jesus.

Remember, HE loves us unconditionally.
