The Prayer of Jabez

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 will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.—1 Chronicles 4:10 (NIV)
Jabez’s prayer teaches us to seek God’s blessings, guidance and protection in every aspect of our lives. Whenever you face challenges or feel overwhelmed, turn to God in prayer and trust His divine plan, knowing His loving presence is like a guiding light illuminating your path
Gracious God, I am grateful for Your unfailing love and willingness to hear my prayers, just as You heard the prayer of Jabez.
