“And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, and that Your hand would with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ So God granted him what he requested.” ~ I Chronicles 4:10
This has been so real and intense in my life these last 2 weeks since I started praying a similar prayer. God WANTS to bless us and I want everything He has to offer me! It feels kinda selfish asking God to bless you everyday, but the reality is that every single day, the Lord has blessing for us. This book I’m reading about the prayer of Jabez says that BLESSING means, to ‘impart supernatural favor.’ I want all of that, that I can get!
In the last week or 2 that I’ve been praying this, or like this, I’ve been blessed in numerous dramatic ways…
- All of our bills got paid in 3 days, we got blessed with some extra money, and we were given the majority of our deposit for when we move into our new place. Those examples are financial blessing, but I have a few others that are just as much a big deal and exciting! Be encouraged and praise God!
Thanks for sharing your testimony! I love watching you both wrestle with the Lord on the good days and the bad. You just keep coming and loving Him. You both move my heart to Love him more!
