Praying God’s Blessing Upon Our Work: Prayer of Jabez, "Expansion"

Heavenly Father,Thank you for this brand-new day and the wonderful gift of work. As we step into June and begin our annual Prayer of Jabez challenge, I lift up every partner, worker, business owner, and prayer warrior in the marketplace today.“Oh, that You would bless me indeed…” Lord, pour out Your abundant blessing over our work, our businesses, and our influence. Let Your favor, wisdom, and provision go before us. May everything we put our hands to bring You glory.“…and enlarge my territory…” Father, expand our opportunities and our reach. Open new doors, connect us with the right people, and give us boldness to step confidently into every new assignment You have prepared for us.“…that Your hand would be with me…” Holy Spirit, let Your hand rest mightily upon us. Guide our thoughts, words, and actions. Grant us knowledge and understanding in every decision, and empower us to serve with excellence and supernatural favor.“…and keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.” Protect us, Lord, from temptation, discouragement, and division. Guard our hearts and workplaces, and let everything we do bring hope, peace, and healing.Today, we dedicate this workday to You. We commit this week and consecrate this month—the Prayer of Jabez month—trusting You for greater things. We ask that Your goodness and mercy follow us all of our days. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
