Prayer of Jabez

if you don't know, now you know! a few years back in a used book store in ann arbor, i had the pleasure of stumbling across a little book about the prayer of jabez. i had no idea what it was about, but i said, "hey, 2 bucks. might as well." when i initially read it then, it did some amazing things in my life and really answered some of my deepest prayers. why i got away from it, i will never know, but i am officially back and hooked. this short, 4 line prayer is powerful beyond measure. i'm not going to go in-depth and give all the background info because i want to encourage you go and seek out this book. basically tho, it is found in 1 Chronicles 4:10, and reads: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested." summarizing, jabez asked God to bless him indeed, enlarge his territory and influence, that God may keep His hand on him and continue to guide his paths, and that God would keep him from evil, and God answered his prayer. so simple yet so powerful. i've been praying this prayer multiple times a day for about 2 months now, and my life has truly been changed. never have i had such confidence in my God, in what He can do in my life, and in what He will do in my life. God wants to bless us indeed, and He is just waiting for us to ask Him to. i encourage everyone to get on, and get this book. it's been doing some amazing things in my life like providing me a job, giving me a lot of hours, a possible contract, meeting true God-fearing people, and providing for me when the whole world saw otherwise. simply life changing. here is a link to some more info about it, but try to get the book, and maybe even pray the prayer right now--it's really works.
