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 avoid the battle, not just to endure it.

Why face unnecessary harm if God can shield us by his grace?

Like Jabez, we can pray for the precision of God’s protecting hand—keeping us, our families, and our hearts free from all that would cause pain, grief, or loss.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your power to protect and deliver.

Keep us far from every form of evil—trouble, harm, sorrow, and temptation.

Place your hand over our lives and shield us from attacks, accidents, mischief, and all that would wound or drag us down.

Lead us away from the path of temptation and deliver us from the evil one.

Let the precision of your finger guide our steps, keeping us safe and whole.

May our homes, work, and relationships be guarded by your presence.

Make us people of peace, marked by your protection, wisdom, and favor.

Amen.
