"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I may be free from pain.' And God granted his request." 1 Chronicles 9:10
Occasionally we may find ourselves in a "prayer rut" and with all of the violence in the world, we may feel that we need extra protection. The Prayer of Jabez is a short but meaningful prayer that can be said anytime or anyplace. It is obvious that God doesn't require lengthy, eloquent prayers to hear and take action. Let's challenge ourselves and increase our prayer life so that we may be abundantly blessed.
