I don’t know if you have come across the prayer of Jabez. In 1 Chronicles 4:10, the prayer of Jabez is mentioned. He prayed to God saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!”

Jabez prayed for God’s blessing, asking for an increase in territory, just like Jabez you can ask God to increase your territories, for example your financial territory, your work, family and marital territory. He prayed that God’s hand will be upon him, he prayed that he would be kept from harm so as not to cause pain. You can pray the same prayer. This prayer is a plea for a fruitful and purposeful life, seeking God’s guidance and protection.

You can pray a similar prayer by asking God’s blessings, guidance, and protection in your endeavors, while also expressing a desire to positively impact the lives of others.

Remember, prayer is a personal conversation with God, you can adapt the language and focus of the prayer to your own circumstances and intentions. May this prayer as you pray it regularly bring blessings of God in your life. Amen
