The Prayer of Jabez Part 4

This weekend raps up our series on the Prayer of Jabez. We will focus on "that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain." We will also include the last powerful sentence of the prayer...So God granted him what he requested. Sometimes we forget that part. God is faithful and His Word is true.

Some of the kids have already started quoting the whole 1 Chronicles 4:10 passage. Yes...we are giving them a big incentive but it's so cool to hear a 1st grader quote that whole verse and see their face as they speak it for themselves. They are making it their prayer, not just Jabez's. That's the most important victory.

We are including the story of Joseph. Who better to be an example of how he didn't give in to temptation and cause more pain when many of us would have justified a poor response to being treated as Joseph was?
