Driveway Prayer




Do you know what? You can pray anywhere and at any time! The Bible says, "pray without ceasing." One practice I have been doing for several years is to pray for my family as I back out of the driveway each morning. I pray the simple "Prayer of Jabez" that is recorded in the Bible, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.



"[9] There was a man named Jabez who was more distinguished than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful. [10] He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, Oh, that you would bless me and extend my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!"
And God granted him his request.



The for things that I pray for my life, my wife, my children and my ministry are:
  1. Bless us!

  2. Enlarge our territory!

  3. Lord, let your hand be with us!

  4. Keep us from pain and harm!

Do you know what else? God granted Jabez his request. He will also grant your request if you will join Him in prayer.
