The book (and the prayer on which it was based) spawned numerous spin-offs, send-ups and sequels. Not to mention controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The book focused on a short prayer tucked away in 1 Chronicles 4:10:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><em>Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, \u201cOh, 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.\u201d And God granted his request. <\/em>(NIV)<\/p>\n<p>Not exactly the Lord\u2019s Prayer, is it? Short\u2014just 29 words in that translation. Yet it appealed to millions, possibly because it works. Not because it\u2019s a magic mantra, some miracle cure, a biblical good luck charm. But for four reasons:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)  It\u2019s daily.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you haven\u2019t been in the habit of praying daily, then starting that habit will bring about some wonderful changes\u2014whether you pray the prayer of Jabez, the Lord\u2019s Prayer or \u201cNow I lay me down to sleep.\u201d Try it; start praying every day, and watch what happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  It\u2019s simple.<\/strong><br \/>\nMany people don\u2019t pray because they don\u2019t think they can. They\u2019re shy. They feel self-conscious. They think they have to use \u201cthee\u201d and \u201cthou\u201d and make it sound like the Gettysburg Address. But the prayer of Jabez is simple enough to make many of us\u2014even people like me\u2014believe that prayer is something even we can do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)  It\u2019s specific.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe prayer of Jabez gives a person something specific to say when they pray. Very often\u2014even when we want to pray\u2014we have trouble expressing our thoughts. The Jabez prayer helps a person do that.<\/p>\n<p>For the same reason, I frequently use a hymn (\u201cImmortal, Invisible, God Only Wise,\u201d \u201cI have no claim on grace,\u201d etc.) or other words of Scripture (Psalm 5, for example, or Paul\u2019s prayer for the Christians at Ephesus in Ephesians 3:14-21) to help me express the things I want to say in prayer. I also use lists of Scripture phrases to help me praise God or pray for my children as aids to prayer. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4)  It\u2019s a start.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe prayer of Jabez succeeds insofar as it opens the lines of communication between the person praying and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That\u2019s a good thing. And, like most prayer, regularly praying the Jabez prayer is likely to whet a person\u2019s appetite for more prayer.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, some people might pray those 29 words day after day and be done with it. But a good number of people, while they\u2019ve \u201cgot God\u2019s attention,\u201d so to speak, might feel encouraged to ask for forgiveness or guidance or healing for a friend. And that\u2019s a good thing. A very good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is rare enough that a book about prayer becomes a bestseller, but when Bruce Wilkinson\u2019s little 96-page book, The Prayer of Jabez, sold millions of copies some years ago, it surprised everyone.
