4:9 And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it be not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.
According to Your will I'm praying According to Your Word You hear me According to Your Heart You answer When I pray
Father, bless me indeed You're all that I need Expand my horizons beyond what I see Put Your hand upon me And keep me from evil today This is what I pray
According to Your plan I'm waiting I'm waiting According to Your hand You lead me You lead me According to Your love You seek me When I stray
The only blessing that I seek Is to know Your using me
According to Your will I pray
I woke up singing this song. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me.
A year ago I got two of the books on the prayer of Jabez and a workbook. I had never read it. I gave one to my mom and she said she had always wanted to but had not read it either. I found a mini poster with this prayer on it and posted it at the office. I made up a tune so I could remember it. I sang it nearly everyday and many times a day actually.
Jabez means "pain." His mother named him. He discovered his truth work in the covenant and called out to God to cancel out, and redeem him from what had been inherited from his forefathers. Malcolm Smith has a new series that comes from this verse and speaks to all of this. Its very good, but in the end it is about discovering who we are in Christ rather than who we are in the "natural." Power made perfect in weakness...not our power, but his.
