The Prayer of Jabez

In 'The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life', Bruce Wilkinson explores the prayer of Jabez, a little-known Bible figure, and its four requests: to be blessed, to have one's territory enlarged, to have God's hand with them, and to be kept from evil.

Wilkinson argues that praying this prayer daily can lead to supernatural favor, influence, and power in one's life.

He emphasizes that seeking God's blessing is an act of worship and that this prayer can bring about significant life changes.

However, the book has also been criticized for its perceived alignment with the prosperity gospel and for suggesting that God will always answer prayers in the desired manner.
