Spurgeon’s The Prayer of Jabez is a spiritual gem: small, beautiful, and of great value to the soul. With its emphasis on “Thou” and a true heart for God, it is quite different from the popular conception of Jabez’s prayer in our day (“bless me”). Notice herein the many actual prayers as examples for everyone who desires the true blessings of God.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England, June 19, 1834. Though reared in the knowledge of the Gospel, Spurgeon was not converted to Jesus Christ until a snowy January morning in 1850. In August of the same year, Spurgeon preached his first sermon to a small gathering of farmers. Then in 1854, when he was only nineteen, the New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, London, called him as pastor. This church later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Spurgeon’s sermons were published from January 1855 until 1916, twenty-four years after his death. In his later years, pain wracked his body and opponents attacked his ministry. Nevertheless, Spurgeon continued to preach the Gospel faithfully until his death in January 1892.
