Father God,
In 1 Chronicles 4:10, Jabez prayed this simple prayer to You, saying:
"Oh, that You would bless me and expand my territory! Be with me and keep me from anything evil that might cause me pain." - And You granted him his request!
Heavenly Father, with a humble and contrite heart, I come before You now, thanking You for all the blessings You have already bestowed upon me. I recognize my shortcomings and ask for your mercy, knowing that I am but a sinner in need of your grace.
Today, with humility and thanksgiving, I beg You, Father God, to give ear to my prayer and attend to the voice of my petition, just as You did for Jabez - to bless me and bless me indeed.
Expand my territory, be with me, and keep me from anything evil. Yes Lord, anything of me that You dislike and that might cause me pain, and, worse yet, anything that would cause me to sin before You - In the Mighty name of Jesus, take it away.
--------
God Almighty, as I conclude this prayer, I am reminded of the faithfulness You showed to Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10, when you granted him his humble request, and how You expanded his territory and kept him from evil. I humbly ask for Your continued guidance and protection in my life.
Lord, in Jeremiah 33:3, You said, 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' And in Matthew 7:7, saying, 'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.'
Therefore, I stand upon Your Word, trusting in Your unfailing love and faithfulness. I call upon Your name, O Lord, believing that You will reveal to me great and mighty things beyond my understanding. I ask, I seek, and I knock, knowing that You are faithful to fulfill Your promises.
May Your will be done in my life, just as it was in the life of Jabez. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen
