The Prayer of Jabez says this in 1 Cronicles 4:10:
Jabez cried out to the God, "Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from harm!" And God granted him his request.
A simple yet bold prayer that we all can use in our lives... 4 simple requests and granted by God.
Blessing me:
Pray about your personal needs. Pray through good and bad times.Pray for the little things and the big ones. All He wants is your trust in Him shown through your actions and perseverant prayers. Ask God to give you an abundant life.
Enlarging my territory:
Territory can mean many things. It can mean expanding your business area, increasing your finances, cultivating more relationships, enlarging your wisdom and understanding for the business and influencing you to help others. On a personal note, it could mean teaching you more about humility and patience. Giving you more physical strength to face the challenges for the day and having good health.
Keeping me safe:
Pray about protection. Protection while you travel and protection while you are away from home. Protection about handling a transaction ethically and honorably.
Keeping harm out:
Ask God to keep you from harm: physical pain, anxieties, fears, sickness, suffering, slander, problems at home and struggles at work.
God desires that we ask. In Matthew 7:7-8, it says to ask, seek, and knock. It will be given to you! And most importantly, God granted those requests. Have you prayed the Prayer of Jabez recently? Try it, it might just change your life.
Will you ask for God's blessings today?

God is more faithful to us than we are to Him! I thank God for everything He has given me, my family, my home, health, and getting me out of tight spots at times.
Today, I had a cancelled showing. Knowing that the seller would be upset, I prayed that God would give me the words to say to the seller. He got me out of it by providing me with a last minute showing with another buyer! God is Good All of the time!
