About this episode

In this episode, Bob Perry discusses the story of Jabez and how it relates to stepping into God's preferred future for us through prayer and faith.

Hello friend, welcome to another day on our Jabez journey! When we look at the story of Jabez in Scripture, we see a man whose very name reminded him of pain and hardship. But Jabez didn’t let his past or any negative label define his destiny. He took his needs, his dreams, and his hopes straight to God, boldly asking for blessing, provision, and purpose. And you know what? God honored that prayer! It reminds us that our identity isn’t set by our circumstances, but by the loving God who hears and answers when we call. No matter where you started or where you are today, God is inviting you into His heart, His hand, and His ways—for a positive, preferred, providential future. Let’s pray together: Heavenly Father, Thank you for seeing beyond our past and pain. Like Jabez, we come to you believing in your power to bless and make a way. Propel us into our calling, destiny, and purpose. We ask for your prosperity and protection. Where we feel limited or weighed down, bring healing and restoration. Increase our faith for greater influence, and give us a Christ-like capacity to love and serve others. Keep your hand upon us and guard us from harm. Make us people who walk in your Spirit…
