How Do Prayers For Prosperity Work?

By Zoe Smith


Abundance and prosperity is a desire deeply and firmly rooted in every man's (or woman's) heart. It is innate in us to want the life filled to the overflow with good things. Many times people may misconstrue this as greediness but such mindsets are only brought upon by a poverty mentality that conditions one to think that there is a ceiling to what the world thinks you should have. Do not be misled Friend, you are destined to be wealthy - you need only to believe it and desire it to be so.

Children live uncomplicated lives. What do they do when they want something? They ask. We too can ask and pray for prosperity and expect to receive it simply because we are meant to be in abundance. You heard right, you can be rich and nothing but your own thinking can stop you from realizing this truth. Do you know that many great people, known and unknown, have said prayers of prosperity with unbelievable results? Truly, it doesn't matter where we've been, what we've done or who we are-we can all have amazing lives.

Jabez is a man not a lot of people know. His life of obscurity is punctuated by a few lines in the book of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 4:10) found in the Bible. We don't know a lot about him but if you're looking for prayers of prosperity, Jabez gets top marks. This is what he prayed for to his God: "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!"

His mother called him Jabez, the Hebrew word for 'cause of pain'. We can imagine that his family life did not bode well for his future; however, this did not stop him from crying out to God for more in his life. Can you feel the intensity and heartfelt desire in his prayer? You will also notice that Jabez also asked God to keep him from fulfilling what his name said he was-- a cause of pain. The last line of the verse succinctly summarized the success of his prayer: God granted him what he requested.

What lessons can we draw from this man who had many things going against him? When you pray for prosperity, it will surely come if you believe. It is possible to for anyone, whatever your past may have been. Believe that God is not only powerful enough to give you good things; He is good enough to want it even more than you do. Understanding His nature is the beginning of unshakeable faith that can move whatever mountains you face.

To be prosperous is easy once you know your God personally. Understand your place in the world and be bold in seeking Him - you will find that the outpouring of your blessings will naturally overflow to other people's lives as well. Remember, you were born to not just for success - you were born to be significant.
