In the Old Testament there is a brief, rather obscure mention of someone named Jabez who realized extraordinary blessings as the result of a prayer. A mere sentence, just 26 words, changed his life and that of thousands who have adopted his prayer.
Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me and that You would keep me from evil.
What makes this prayer so profound? What can we learn about prayer in following his example? These are the questions Rev. Laurie will delve into this Sunday. In preparing for this lesson, you are invited to take this prayer into your time of prayerful meditation and contemplation.
