God Answers Simple Bold Prayer
Backgrounder on 1 Chron 1-9:
Chronicles which focuses on the
southern kingdom of Judah, gives
a priestly perspective on the history
of God’s people. And 1 Chronicles
opens with a series of genealogies
(including Jabez) which show
God at work throughout history.
Lord, we will Pray Boldly:
There was a man named Jabez
who was more distinguished than
any of his brothers. His mother
named him Jabez because
his birth had been so painful.
He was the one who prayed to
the God of Israel: O that U would
bless me and extend my territory!
Please be with me in all that I do
and keep me from all trouble
and pain! And God granted him
his request (1 Chron 4:9-10).
Lord, thank you for all You have
given me. I pray for Your continued
blessings, provision & protection.
I pray Your presence will always
be with me wherever I go
and no matter what happens.
Thank you that You are pleased
to share Your kingdom with me.
Enable me to give back to You
by helping and blessing others.
Lord, thank you for putting Jabez
and his simple but bold prayer
in the Bible. Thank you for loving
me & for being just as accessible
to me as you were to Jabez.
Let me never take the privilege
of prayer for granted; and thank
you for hearing my simple prayer.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Friends, wishing One and all
Merry Christmas and the
Blessings of God to u & family.
Shalom/chris
