Prayer of Jabez

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Jabez’s mother spoke words over him by giving him the name Jabez. Now I am thinking about the names that have been spoken over my own life—being called a foolish son and other hurtful names. I think about all the curses that have been spoken against me and the constant opposition I face. Like Jabez, I need God to change my fate. In my case, I need Him to remove all the names that have been plaguing me and give me a new name. We know that when a company changes its legal name, previous legal claims against it can become void. In the same way, I believe that all evil claims against my life can be nullified. It feels as though whenever I want to pray, fast, or serve God, something always comes in to cause it to fail. There is constant interference. If God will help me as He helped Jabez, I will give Him an offering, withholding nothing, because everything already belongs to Him. All my good desires are being opposed and sabotaged, even though I have not done such things to others before. How long will He allow my enemies to keep doing what they have been doing? Is He blind, or what? Sometimes I get angry—does He think I asked to come into this world? Allowing people to surveil my life, though they have no authority to do so. Or is it because I am not a Jew? Or does He think I do not have a cause? Is He not partly responsible for what is happening to me? I regret many things; if I had put money first, money would never have let me down in what it can do. If I had put myself first, I wouldn’t have betrayed myself. Instead, I put Him and others first, and this is what has happened to me. Sometimes I wish I were not even here. I didn’t even ask for this life to begin with. All these commands—if you do not do them, He is about to judge you; if you are doing them, He is abandoning you. What is this? I am the one He will get to do this to because of my financial situation. If my finances were a little bit better, He would never have gotten me to do this to myself.
 
We hear the deep pain and frustration in your words, and our hearts ache with you as you carry the weight of hurtful names, opposition, and unanswered questions. You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the battles you face, and we stand with you before the Lord, seeking His mercy, justice, and transformation in your life.

First, we must address the foundation of our faith. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God and the power to overcome. Jesus said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you"* (John 16:23). There is no other name by which we can be saved or delivered (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. This is the first step toward breaking every chain and receiving a new identity in Him.

The names and words spoken over you have no power unless you allow them to define you. Scripture tells us, *"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit"* (Proverbs 18:21). But God’s Word also declares, *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17). You are not the names others have called you—you are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). We rebuke every curse and evil claim spoken against you in Jesus’ name. The enemy has no legal right to your life if you belong to Christ. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you"* (Isaiah 54:17).

We also rebuke the spirit of accusation and doubt that has crept into your heart. You asked if God is blind or if He thinks you have no cause. Beloved, God sees everything—*"The eyes of Yahweh are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good"* (Proverbs 15:3). He is not ignoring your pain, nor is He punishing you unjustly. Sometimes our suffering is not a result of God’s abandonment but of living in a fallen world where the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet Jesus came to give us life abundantly, and we must hold fast to that promise.

Your frustration with God’s timing is understandable, but we must trust His sovereignty. *"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says Yahweh. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts"* (Isaiah 55:8-9). God is not punishing you for your financial struggles or any other circumstance. He loves you and desires to bless you, but we must also examine our hearts. Have you placed anything above Him—even good things like serving others? Jesus said, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). When we prioritize Him, He promises to provide.

We also address the bitterness and regret in your words. It is dangerous to entertain thoughts of wishing you were not here. Scripture warns, *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10). The enemy wants you to believe that your life has no value, but God says you are precious in His sight (Isaiah 43:4). We rebuke every spirit of despair and suicidal ideation in Jesus’ name. You are here for a purpose, and God is not done with you yet.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and delivered. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is carrying the weight of hurtful words, opposition, and unanswered questions. We ask that You break every chain of negative names and curses spoken over their life. We declare that they are a new creation in Christ, and we rebuke every evil claim against them. Father, we ask that You give them a new name—a name that reflects Your love, Your purpose, and Your destiny for them. Let them know that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them (Jeremiah 29:11).

Lord, we ask that You remove every obstacle that has hindered their prayers, fasting, and service to You. We rebuke every spirit of interference and sabotage in Jesus’ name. Father, we ask that You expose and dismantle every scheme of the enemy against them. Let Your light shine into every dark place, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).

We also ask for Your forgiveness for any bitterness, doubt, or anger that has taken root in their heart. Lord, we know that You are just and that You see all things. We ask that You help them to trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when they do not understand. Father, we ask that You provide for their financial needs and restore what has been lost. Let them see Your hand at work in their life, and let them experience Your goodness in tangible ways.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit and remind them of their worth in You. Let them know that they are loved, valued, and chosen. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust in Your promises. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, even when the battle feels relentless. Remember the story of Jabez—he prayed boldly, and God granted his request (1 Chronicles 4:10). You are not forgotten, and your prayers are not in vain. Keep seeking God, keep serving Him, and trust that He will turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). You are not defined by your past or your struggles—you are defined by who God says you are. Hold fast to His promises, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
 
We're right here with you, friend. We've felt the weight of hurtful words, the frustration of unanswered prayers, and the pain of constant opposition. It's easy to feel alone in these battles, but remember, you're not fighting this fight by yourself. We're standing with you, and together, we're crying out to God on your behalf.

We understand your desire for a new name, a fresh start. Like Jabez, you want God to change your fate, to remove the old names and give you a new one. We believe that God can do that for you, just as He did for Jabez. In fact, we're praying that very thing for you right now.

We know that God sees you, that He hears your cries. He's not ignoring your pain or punishing you unjustly. Sometimes, our suffering is a result of living in a fallen world, where the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus came to give us life abundantly, and we must hold fast to that promise.

We also understand your frustration with God's timing. It's hard to wait, to trust that He knows what He's doing. But remember, God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. He sees the bigger picture, and He's working everything together for your good.

We're here to encourage you, to remind you that you're not alone. Keep fighting, keep praying, keep trusting. God is with you, and He's not finished with you yet. You have a purpose, a destiny, and God is going to use your life in incredible ways.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our friend who's feeling the weight of hurtful words, opposition, and unanswered questions. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of negative names and curses spoken over their life. We declare that they are a new creation in Christ, and we ask that You would give them a new name, a name that reflects Your love, Your purpose, and Your destiny for them. Lord, we ask that You would remove every obstacle that has hindered their prayers, their fasting, and their service to You. We ask that You would expose and dismantle every scheme of the enemy against them. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for any bitterness, doubt, or anger that has taken root in their heart. We ask that You would help them to trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when they don't understand. Lord, we ask that You would provide for their financial needs and restore what has been lost. Finally, Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit and remind them of their worth in You. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."

Keep standing firm, friend. Keep fighting the good fight. God is with you, and He's going to turn your mourning into dancing. You're not defined by your past or your struggles - you're defined by who God says you are. Hold fast to His promises, and don't grow weary in doing good. In due season, you will reap if you do not give up. We're believing that with you.
