1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
This is a good prayer for believers to pray and pray often. We ought to want God’s blessings and an expansion of our influence and outreach for The Lord. We should want God’s power in our lives.
We should pray for help in facing life day by day and in staying pure for the glory of the Lord. This is not a selfish prayer.
God heard the prayer of Jabez and granted his request because He honors prayers that honor Him. The awesome power of God is available to every Christian who will trust Him.
Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
