Prayer of Jabez
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (MSG)
Jabez was a better man than his brothers, a man of honor. His mother had named him Jabez (Oh, the pain!), saying, "A painful birth! I bore him in great pain!" Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: "Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection—don't let evil hurt me." God gave him what he asked.Created 25 days ago

thank you sir, may I have another!
How much more is it going to take to convince them? It is seeming like they are getting themselves killed over petty jealousy. "Why does Moses get to be in charge?" don't mess with God, you wannabe-bullies!
