Welcome to the June Prayer of Jabez Challenge.

Let’s pray,

Oh Lord, like Jabez, I come before you with an open heart, asking boldly: Oh that you would indeed bless me and enlarge my border, my property, and that your hand would be with me, and you would keep me from evil so that it does not hurt me!

And God granted his request.

God, as I reflect on this year—its struggles, missteps, and surprises—I admit it hasn’t unfolded the way I envisioned.

But I take hope in your unchanging grace and the wisdom of C.S. Lewis: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

So today, so this week, so this month, Father, I ask for a holy reset.

Clear away the clutter of disappointment, the fog of confusion, and the weight of regret.

Place your hand upon me, Lord, and guide me forward. I surrender the past to you and ask for fresh clarity, renewed strength, and divine direction.

Enlarge my heart to dream again. Enlarge my vision to see beyond current circumstances. Enlarge my faith to believe that greater things are still ahead.

Keep me from evil, from self-sabotage, and from the voices that whisper failure.

Let this day and this season be a turning point. Thank you for new mercies, fresh starts, and the grace to rewrite my story with you, the God of the reset. .

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
