Welcome to the June Prayer of Jabez Challenge.

Let’s Pray,

Heavenly Father, Like Jabez, I come before You with a heart of expectation, asking, please bless me and extend my borders. Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm so I will not experience pain as my mother did. And God did just that for Jabez and for me, I pray.

Today, Lord, I ask specifically for an increase in my leadership and management skills, and the grace to influence others.

Jesus, you are the ultimate leader, full of truth, vision, and compassion. Teach me to lead as you lead—to serve, to uplift, to empower, and to steward what you’ve entrusted to me with diligence and excellence.

Enlarge my territory, Lord. Expand my capacity to lead well—both in vision and in execution. Strengthen my ability to manage people, processes, and priorities with clarity, patience, and effectiveness. Help me to navigate difficult decisions and balance responsibility with grace.

Let your hand be with me. I rely on your wisdom, counsel, and Spirit.

Guide my daily decisions, inspire creative solutions, and raise my emotional intelligence to lead with empathy and discernment. Surround me with wise counsel and trustworthy support.

Increase my influence, so that your purpose may be fulfilled through me. Let those impacted by my leadership flourish. Help me to build others up, speak life, and cultivate environments of growth, excellence, and unity.

Keep me from harm and from misusing the authority you grant. Guard my heart from weariness and fear. Teach me to lead from a place of rest in you.

I receive this increase in leadership and influence by faith, knowing that you will complete the good work you’ve begun in me.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
