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.

Prayer for the day
Lord,
I believe it is your will to bless your family and make us a blessing to the nations of the earth. I pray like Jabez that regardless of the circumstances I was born into, you can break the effects of any curse. Therefore, I take authority over any evil oaths, angry words or verbal confusion, and renounce all evil spoken against me. Jesus is my redemptive hope; I confess the truth of Jesus Christ and say the curse is reversed in Jesus’ name. Furthermore, I declare that I shall be a blessing. I ask that you enlarge my territory as I reach outside the borders of my family to bless others. I ask for your grace to be upon my life and that you would bless me to be an influencer. Change my perspective and restore my vision, Lord.
Amen
