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.
Do you remember what you used to do when you wanted something? We pray for it with a child's simple faith. Today we can pray for prosperity and expect it to happen for no other reason than that it is ours to have. Really, the only hindrance in keeping our riches from being manifest is our own mindsets and thought patterns. There have been many who have prayed prayers for prosperity that had staggering results. It truly doesn't matter who you are or where you are today. You will be amazed at the power that lies within you.
Few people know who Jabez is - indeed there are about 4 lines written about his life in the whole world and it is only found in the Bible (1 Chronicles 4:10). As far as prayers for prosperity goes; his' rank among one of the best. This was his prayer: "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!"
Jabez is Hebrew for 'cause of pain'-- imagine that, your own mother naming you 'pain'. It did not stop Jabez from reaching and wanting more out of his life. He cried out to God for enlarged territory and blessings which we can read as increased influence and favor to surround his life. Observe that he did not stop there. Jabez asked God that he may not be what his name said he was - a source of pain. His short biography ended well as we see in the last line of the verse: God granted him what he requested.
What can we learn from Jabez? Your past does not dictate your future - anyone can have an abundant life. Believe that God wants you prosperous. Sometimes it's not a matter of knowing if God can but if He will. You are His creation and if you know Him intimately, you will understand that He desires to see us blessed even more than we want it for ourselves. As you pray for prosperity, do not neglect to pray for the capacity to be the best that you can be for other people as well.
Because you know your God's heart and the value you have, be bold in coming to Him in prayer. You will find blessings; and when you do, it will be a happy and natural thing for you to want to bless others as well. Remember you are meant not just to be a success - you were meant to be significant.
