Full of insight, "The Prayer of Jabez" is a timeless prayer classic by the Prince of preachers that will fill the reader's heart with a hunger to seek God in Prayer.
If you thought that the prayer of Jabez was about asking God for more stuff, read this revealing and challenging book by Charles H. Spurgeon that will give you a gospel-centered view of this Old Testament man, and his prayer for God's blessing.
In this book, Spurgeon analyzes what it means to be blessed and the numerous sorts of blessings we might get, noting the benefits and drawbacks of each. He then guides us through the process of determining the sort of blessing we should seek, which looks to be consistent with what the Bible teaches.
Also contained herein are many actual prayers as examples for everyone who desires the true blessings of God. Spurgeon's "The Prayer of Jabez" is a spiritual gem: small, beautiful, and of great value to the soul.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed..." 1 Chronicles 4:10
