The Prayer of Jabez

A few months ago, I heard of this prayer and I didn't catch where in the Bible it was. So naturally I looked in the reference section for the name Jabez.... Nothing, I had looked in a few other sections and still..... nothing. After a few weeks I kind of forgot about this prayer and his story, but I did one night try to explain it to my dad hoping he would know where I could find it... but still nothing. One day my husband had the day off and I wanted to go to the Dollar Tree in Fullerton to get some craft stuff for Ryan, part of my endeavor to preschool him. As I was Looking at the book section(which was a mess) a little tan roseish colored book caught my eye. As I reached for it and picked it up, turned it over guess what????? The book was called "The Prayer of Jabez". I was soooo thrilled at God timing for me to find this treasure hidden in the messy book isle of a dollar store. I looked to see if there were any more so I could purchase as many as there were, but there was only 1 copy and God had saved it for me. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get home and dive into this book with an amazing, life changing prayer. I couldn't believe I found such a treasure for a Dollar.. Amazing, Gods Grace! So I wont spoil the book for you, but I will share the fact that the book share line by line interpretation of the prayer it is Awesome! Also I found out that this prayer is in the LEAST read part of the Bible 1Chronicles.


Jabez Prayer

"Oh Lord Bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
please be with me in all I do,
and keep me from trouble and pain!
(and God granted his request)

1 Chronicles 4:10
(but read 4:9-10)

It is said that this prayer as all prayers changes peoples lives. I have personally that when I pray this prayer, I can feel Gods hand with me and my family!
