Bob Perry Prayer

Welcome to our July “Greater Health, God’s Way” prayer focus! Psalm 103:2-5 encourages us not to forget the incredible gifts God offers—His forgiveness, healing, fresh strength, purpose, and abundant favor. The world’s noise can drown out God’s peace, but Psalm 103 says He “crowns you with love and compassion.” Chronic stress wrecks the body and spirit. In 2026, science and Scripture agree: true h...

Welcome to our July “Greater Health, God’s Way” prayer focus! Psalm 103:2-5 calls us to remember God’s benefits—forgiveness, healing, renewed strength, purpose, and favor. In this summer of 2026, with stress and busyness all around, we need a plan, prayer, and God’s wisdom to live healthy, productive, and fruitful lives. Your body is God’s vessel for blessing. When you honor Him with your health,...

Happy Birthday, United States of America. Let us pray, Heavenly Father, Almighty God, On this 250th birthday of the United States of America, as intercessors, prayer warriors, and believers, we humble ourselves and pray.. We pray the theme verse for our generation—2 Chronicles 7:14. Lord, we confess our sins and the sins of our land—our pride, our divisions, our failures to love and honor you and...

Bonus Thankful Friday Prayer: For more than four decades, the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10 has shaped my journey, ever since Pastor Dick Mills urged me to pray it daily. Jabez in the Bible stands as a model of holy ambition—he wasn’t content with the status quo. He dared to ask for more from God: more blessings, greater influence, lasting protection, and a legacy that would impact his gene...

Happy July 1st, friend! What an incredible journey these past 30 days have been as we’ve prayed the prayer of Jabez together. Today isn’t just the end of a challenge—it’s the start of a new season. Remember, God works in seasons, and He’s always ready to do something fresh and unexpected in our lives. Don’t look back with regret or settle for yesterday’s blessings. Let’s stay open, stay expectant,...

Welcome to day 30 of our pursuit of God! What a wonderful month it’s been—so many stories of salvation, reconciliation, healing, provision, and God’s hand of protection and guidance. Let’s press in together on this final day of our annual June Jabez Prayer Challenge. Today, we’re linking arms with believers all over the world and finishing strong with the simple, focused prayer that’s changed coun...

Welcome to Day 29 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, I want to encourage you to take this powerful prayer beyond your own life and lift up the people around you. The beauty of the Jabez prayer is that it’s not just for our personal breakthrough—it’s a prayer we can pray over our family, friends, co-workers, church, and community. Imagine what would happen if you cried out for the blessing of God’...

Welcome to Day 28 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! It’s easy to fall into routines where prayer becomes just another box to check. But the prayer of Jabez—and every prayer—isn’t about reciting words or following a formula. Each new day is a fresh opportunity to step into a living, faith-filled conversation with the living God. Sometimes, even after decades of praying, words can feel dry or stale. That...

Welcome to Day 27 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we reach the moment all those bold requests come to a specific response: “And God granted his request.” Not once does Scripture say Jabez was judged for asking too much. Instead, God answered his dream prayers with big blessings. There’s something powerful in knowing our Heavenly Father is not annoyed or angered by our faith-filled, audacious p...

Welcome to Day 26 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Progress is a beautiful thing, but as we move forward, we sometimes find ourselves exposed to new attacks and challenges—just like soldiers advancing into enemy territory. The more ground we gain, the more directions from which adversity can strike. That’s one of the reasons why, as we pray for increase and breakthrough, we would be wise to ask for Go...

Welcome to Day 25 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we focus on one bold request: deliver us from all that harms. The Hebrew word rah covers a broad range of trouble—bad, evil, pain, unhappiness, distress, calamity, sorrow, and grief. Jabez asks God to keep every shade of misery and mischief far from his life. Jesus echoes this for us: “Deliver us from evil.” Sometimes, faith is about asking to...

Welcome to Day 24 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Trusting God with Every Shade of Hurt. The final request Jabez makes is rich in meaning—across all translations, it’s a longing for protection from harm, evil, and pain in all their forms. Sometimes we pray to be kept from sickness, accidents, or financial loss. Other times, it’s a plea to be shielded from targeted attacks or spiritual oppression. The...

Welcome to Day 23 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we lean into one of the most heartfelt requests in the prayer of Jabez: “Keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” Across translations, this plea takes many shapes—freedom from evil, rescue from sorrow, a shield from trouble, and a hope for peace in every area of life. Sometimes it’s about being protected from outside threats, and so...

Welcome to Day 22 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! If you’ve ever felt in over your head, you’re in good company. So many times, the very evidence that we’re walking by faith is that we feel outmatched, unqualified, or just plain stretched. Apostle Paul said it straight: God’s power is made perfect in our weakness, not our strength. Dependence isn’t a flaw—it’s a sign we’re right where Jesus wants us....

Welcome to Day 21 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Sometimes what we need most isn’t just another open door or bigger opportunity—it’s wisdom for the road ahead. The book of James tells us that if anyone of us lacks wisdom, we should just ask, and God will give generously—no strings attached, no holding back. Scripture describes God's wisdom as multifaceted: it brings understanding, counsel, strength,...

Welcome to Day 20 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! As we keep moving forward, we see a pattern: every time we ask for God’s blessing, he answers—sometimes in ways that stretch us even further. He not only provides, but he expands our influence, gives us more to manage, and then stands beside us, guiding our next steps. But sometimes, in the midst of blessing and increase, we run into feelings of overw...

Welcome to Day 19 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! There’s nothing like the gentle, powerful touch of a loving parent’s hand. Think about it—those hands do it all: they protect, provide, teach, encourage, and celebrate with us. Scripture is full of reminders that God’s hand is just like that—strong and sure, guiding us through every season, every challenge, every dream. When we pray, “Lord, let your h...

Welcome to Day 18 of our Jabez Prayer Journey! Today, we’re not just asking for blessing—we’re requesting our investment return for increase. God never meant for His people to live small, weary, or stuck in hopeless routines. He promises abundant life, overflowing with joy, hope, and purpose. Sometimes we settle for less because we simply don’t know more is possible. But today, let’s break that na...

We’re still contending for breakthrough on Day 17 of our Jabez journey! The New Testament is full of stories of people who encountered Jesus, experienced transformation, and then carried that hope to others. The Samaritan woman, the delivered man, the healed paralytic—all became powerful witnesses, sharing what God had done for them. That’s what it means to extend your influence! When God moves in...

We’ve just crossed the halfway point in our 30 days of praying the Prayer of Jabez—and what an incredible journey it’s been! Excitement is building because God is moving, and He’s not finished yet. Day 16 reminds us why God blesses in the first place: not just for our benefit, but so we can bless others! When God called Abraham, He made him a channel of blessing for the whole world. That same prom...

Welcome to Day 15 of our Jabez journey! Today, let’s remember that God welcomes both our spiritual and our practical, everyday prayers. Jabez’s request to “enlarge my territory” can mean influence or purpose, but it can also mean real, tangible blessings—favor in work, increase in finances, opportunities for promotion, or even the prosperity of our community. God delights in blessing His children...

Welcome to Day 14 of our Jabez Journey! Today’s focus is a big deal—this is your invitation to pray boldly for expanded borders, for a greater impact on others. Jabez asked God to enlarge his territory, but it wasn’t just about land or bank accounts. It was a cry for a bigger life, greater influence, and a legacy that would outlast him. Maybe you’re feeling the nudge that you were made for more, t...

Welcome to Day 13 of our Jabez Journey! Today, we’re not just asking God for blessing—we’re asking Him to increase, multiply, and pour out favor in ways we never imagined. The prayer of Jabez wasn’t timid. He cried out for an enlarged territory, for God’s hand to be with him, and for deliverance from evil. Friend, God invites us to pray boldly, to break free from small thinking and past disappoint...

Welcome to Day 12 of our Jabez June Prayer Challenge! What if God has more for you than you ever imagined? Welcome to a new day on our journey of prayer and blessing! One of my favorite stories is about the ten lepers who cried out to Jesus for healing. All ten received physical healing, but only one returned, praising God with a grateful heart. That man didn’t just get healed—he was made whole. T...

Welcome to Day 11 of our Jabez journey! When we consider blessing, it’s easy to think of it as something distant—reserved for others, or tied to perfect circumstances. But the truth is, God’s blessing is both personal and present. Jabez’s bold prayer reminds us that we can ask God to bless us right where we are, with all our flaws and pain. God’s definition of blessing isn’t just about possessions...
