Jabez

9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NIV

THERE ARE FOUR PARTS TO JABEZ’S PRAYER:

I. OH THAT YOU WOULD BLESS ME INDEED!

You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
James 4:2 NIV

II. ENLARGE MY TERRITORY.

III. OH, LET YOUR HAND BE WITH ME!

IV. THAT YOU WOULD KEEP ME FROM HARM SO THAT I WILL BE FREE FROM PAIN.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Acts 5:41 NIV
