"THE 'JABEZ' PRAYER!"
1 Chronicles 4:10 {NKJV}
"And Jabez called on The Lord God of Israel
saying, 'Oh, that You would ~bless~ me indeed',
and 'enlarge my territory',
that 'Your Hand would be with me',
and that ' You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain'!
So God granted him what he requested."
"QUIETLY 'SIT STILL'!"
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 4}
As you quietly 'sit still' & 'rest' *
when an 'emergency' begs you to 'run',
When you see the 'lion' coming *
are you TRUSTING in God's Son?
Is He 'ABLE' to save you *
is your God 'big' enough? *
Your 'strength' is in your silence *
so 'stand quiet' & let God be tough! *
Then those around you
will see HIS strength in you,
And the door will be flung open
& His Word will all stand true.
PRAISE Him as you 'wait' *
& 'enter' His courts with PRAISE, *
Come into His Presence with Thanksgiving *
for PRAISE will 'open' those gates. *

One day Egypt, Iraq & Israel will be 'together' - worshiping
the same GOD! AMEN!!!
