The Prayer of Jabez

February 9

Bruce Wilkinson wrote, The Prayer of Jabez. The book is based on two lesser-known verses in the Bible, which are no longer obscure. Wilkinson challenges his readers to pray the Prayer
for thirty days. I did and found myself leading a small group and assisting an interim pastor when our senior pastor went on emergency medical leave. The Prayer of Jabez:

“Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me. and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.
So God granted him what he requested.” (1 Chronicles 4:10)
