Would you pray this prayer?

Would you pray this prayer? Too selfish?
If you haven’t read the prayer of Jabez, it’s located in 1 Chronicles 4:10. This chapter is a who’s who in the zoo lineage, pretty boring and easy to skip through.
But smack in the middle of it it reads …
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.
Jabez asks God for four things.
#1 Bless me
#2 Enlarge my territory
#3 Let your hand be with me
#4 Keep me from harm and pain
>> God granted His request.
What would happen if every single day you prayed that way? What do you think God would do?
Why wouldn’t you?
I don’t know about you, but I have HUGE desires, dreams and goals for my family and for my business.
They contain the word BILLION.
I’m swinging for the fences for everything.
Can you think of any reason why you shouldn’t aim high and pray big?
