God, Give Me A Super-Abundant New Year
An Audacious Prayer For Starting 2019
You are launching into a new year. You can slip into it quietly, or you can burst into it bigly. If your desire is to rise above your pain this year—your history, your constraints, your character—then lift it to God. If your goal is God’s uncommon blessing in your life this year, dare to ask him for it. If your dream is to seize new territory this year—spiritual, financial, relational abundance—ask God to bring it under your span of control. Just pray—bigly. God may just grant your request for a super-abundant 2019!
“ Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” He cried out to God, “Oh that you’d 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.
