Oh God, thank You for blessing me and enlarging my territory. Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.
(1 Chronicles 4:10)
This scripture is called the prayer of Jabez. There have been books written on this prayer. In 1 Chronicles all of the descendants are listed by name, until it comes to listing Jabez. The scriptures describe Jabez as more honorable then his brothers. His name means pain because his childbirth was very painful. Back then your name was who you were. I believe Jabez wanted to be known for something better then causing pain. Jabez prayed this prayer and at the end of the scripture it says "And God granted him his request." If you pray up bold prayers God will do bold things in your life.
