Are you walking through a difficult season of life? Do you ever feel like people are focused on what's wrong, instead of what's right? Have you been asking God to bless you with something? We see all of this in Jabez's story, and I'll be diving deep into scripture for today's podcast.

In this episode, I talk about: 

Nestled into two verses of scripture, in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we meet a man by the name of Jabez. He was a man named after pain, but he wasn't defined by it. In this podcast, I want to tell you more about the prayer that Jabez prayed and what we can learn from it. The people around Jabez discounted him but God never did, in fact, we see that Jabez was a man of honor who prepared for what he prayed for. 

As you listen, I hope you remember that God is for you and wants to see you win! When we pray, God hears us and goes before us. God is with you in the good and the bad. Jabez had a God-done-did-it testimony and I'm praying the same for you and for me in this next season. In the meantime, you can tag me @biancaolthoff, I'd love to learn about what God has done, is doing and will do for you! 

Love you, B

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 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. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NIV
