- Note from Frank Sisco on 8/20/2001:
- In July, 2001, as a follow-up to an interesting front-page
New York Times article (5/8/2001), I bought and read the wonderful
book (93 pages) called The Prayer of Jabez (by Bruce Wilkinson
and published by Multnomah Publishers, Inc., and #1 on several
best-seller lists, including the New York Times). I believe strongly
in the power of prayer and of God in influencing our lives, including
matters concerning money, especially when a greater good results.
I highly recommend the book and would be interested in your comments
which you can email to me at ideasmoney@aol.com. Below is the
prayer (from the Old Testament) as it appears on page 92 of the
book.

- The Jabez Prayer
-
- "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
- 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
- and enlarge my territory,
- that Your hand would be with me,
- and that You would keep me from evil,
- that I may not cause pain!"
- So God granted him what he requested.
