When we ask God to bless us, we aren’t being selfish.
We’re admitting that His blessing is better than anything else.
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying,
“Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border,
and that your hand might be with me,
and that you would keep me from harm
so that it might not bring me pain!”
And God granted what he asked.
1 Chronicles 4:10 ESV
