The Prayer When Your Heart Cries Out for More
In 1983, an itinerant evangelist told the young Bob Perry, a student of prayer and eager to learn, to pray I Chronicles 4:10 every day for the rest of his life.
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.
Bob began.
About four decades in, he shared some practical and experiential thoughts.
A.J., having prayed this for a few months, looked at the specific words.
The prayer to try to break open the limits that we might put on God, limit what God wants for us.
A gem of a book. The designer had no direction from the authors, but the cover somehow conveys perfectly the beauty.
Pray this prayer of beauty and power, and see what God does in your life.

The Beginning
Jabez cried out
Do you picture this as a mellow prayer?
As a calm, dispassionate request?
Wrong!
Jabez cried out!
Some other possible translations: he called out, uttered a loud sound, cried for help.
Bob describes this more like a pounding on the table prayer: “I’m not letting up until I see a breakthrough!”
Does this seem a bit extreme?
It shouldn’t.
When we get a breakthrough, our breakthrough blesses others.
When Thomas Edison got his breakthrough in lighting, his breakthrough changed the world.
When William Wilberforce got his breakthrough in England, enslaved people worldwide shared his triumph as they went free.
One person’s breakthrough can shift daily life and the history of the nations of the earth.
It’s good to pound the table.
Because the world still awaits breakthrough in many places.
