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.
1 Chronicles 4:10
Brethren and Sistren, I pray with you:
May The God ALL Mighty. The God of Israel bless you indeed, Amen. May He enlarge your territory, may His Hand be with you in ALL your ways – coming and going, Hallelujah!May Jehovah keep you from evil, and keep you from grief. May God grant all your requests as you remain in His will, led by His Spirit we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we find a short prayer uttered by an obscure man: “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him ‘Jabez’ saying, ‘Because I bore him with pain. ‘ Now, Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, Lord, bless me indeed and expand my territory.
Jabez is a man appearing in the Book of Chronicles. He is implied to be ancestor of the Kings of Judah, although not explicitly included in the lineage. Jabez’s birth is difficult; for this reason, his mother names him Jabez (Hebrew יַעְבֵּץ [ya’betz]), meaning “he makes sorrowful”
And we pray as in His-story his words were heard and his prayer granted. May God grant our needs and requests we pray as told to in Jesus’ name, Amen.
