Day 1
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” (1 Chronicles 4:10)
We know little about Jabez’s life. His name sounds like the Hebrew word for pain, given because his mother bore him “in pain.” This likely indicates emotional sorrow as well as physical pain. Despite beginning in pain and disappointment, Jabez called on God and received a legacy of blessing. This story shows God's willingness to answer prayer and bless those who seek Him.
As you continue your fast, ask God to bless your life, family, and church family.
