Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
And enlarge my territory,
That Your hand would be with me, and
That You would keep me from evil,
That I may not cause pain.
1 Chronicles 4:10

Bruce Wilkinson authored a book titled The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ll be honest, Bruce Wilkinson’s book has its critics; for opposing opinions, search the Internet. I asked my Heavenly Father what to write for January 1st and heard “Prayer of Jabez.”

Thanks for posting the verse from chronicles. It’s a good one to remember throughout the year.
Jabez is one of my favorites in the Bible. The is so much in his short prayer!!
