The Prayer of Jabez

A brief request for blessing and protection.

Jabez asks God to bless him, enlarge his territory, keep him from evil, and spare him from pain.

Scripture

1 Chronicles 4:10

10 Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it not be to my sorrow!" God granted him that which he requested.
