Larry Snyder: The Prayer of Jabez

During this one week break from the study in Exodus, Larry shares a very small passage with a very large potential. 9Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.” 10Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested. New American Standard Bible: 1995 update. (1995). (1 Ch 4:9–10). La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation.   The book The Prayer of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson became a New York Times bestseller subsequent to its publication in 2000.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prayer_of_Jabez
