"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)
Prayer is one of the most powerful and important tools that we have as Christians. There is not a time when prayer is not useful. When we pray, we should lift up others concerns, and for those who we know need The Lord, and to pray for ourselves. The Scripture reminds us that, Jabez cried out to God, 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. I encourage you today to tell God what you need and want. Cry out to God and tell Him all about your struggles and the things you are going through. Ask God to bless you, and to enlarge your territory. Ask God to keep His hand on you and keep evil and harm away from you, and ask God to keep you from pain. Do not be ashamed to ask God for what you want but when you do, get ready for Him to grant your request. You do not just serve a prayer hearing God, you serve a prayer answering God. I wil take all my concerns, needs, and wants to God and I know that He will answer me. Since I know God will grant my request, this is why I am so confident, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"
Prayer:
Oh Lord that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me all the days of my life and keep me from harm, so I can be free from pain. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
