Enlarge my Territory

Do you ever pray BIG prayers? Do you ever believe God will ACTUALLY answer? This is something I am really trying to do more of. It says in the Bible to ask not because we have not. Why not ask?

Growing up my sister and I prayed a very specific prayer from the Bible every morning on our way to school. The Prayer of Jabez. (1 Chronicles 4:9)

We modified it from a version and here is what we asked God/continue to ask God for:

"Oh Lord that you would bless me indeed

That you would INCREASE my territory & influence

That your hand would be upon all that I do.

And that you would keep evil far from us, 
that we would NOT bring harm to anyone!"

I encourage you with that today. I have seen an answer to this prayer over the years as the Lord is slow to anger and rich in love - he hears our prayers!!!
