The Prayer of Jabez Bruce Wilkinson

In The Prayer of Jabez, Bruce Wilkinson uncovers a hidden gem in the Biblea brief but powerful prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:10 that has the potential to radically transform ones life. This short, seemingly obscure verse is nestled among a long genealogy, yet Wilkinson brings it to the forefront, showing how its four requests can lead to a deeper, more expansive relationship with God.

The prayer itself is simple: Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil. But within these lines lies a bold invitation to step out of spiritual comfort zones and into a life marked by divine favor, influence, guidance, and protection.

Wilkinson explores each phrase in depth, weaving in real-life stories, biblical context, and practical insights that encourage readers to adopt the prayer as a daily spiritual practice. He argues that far from being selfish, the prayers requests are aligned with Gods desire to bless and use His people for greater purposes.

Rather than focusing on material gain, the book emphasizes spiritual expansionseeking Gods will in all areas of life and being willing to say yes when He opens unexpected doors. It challenges believers to ask for more not out of greed, but out of a desire to be used mightily for the Kingdom.

Accessible, inspiring, and deeply rooted in Scripture, The Prayer of Jabez has become a modern devotional classic. It offers a fresh perspective on how a small prayer can lead to big changes, encouraging readers to trust God more boldly and live beyond the limitations of ordinary faith
