How do we know God can bless us despite our unworthiness?

Answered in 1 source

We see in the life of Jabez that God's blessings come not from our merit but from His covenant promises and grace.

The narrative of Jabez illustrates a profound truth about God's ability to bless despite human unworthiness. Jabez was described as an 'honorable man,' yet he also bore a name that symbolized pain. This reflects the reality of our own lives, where we often feel inadequate or marked by our past. However, Jabez's prayer reveals a faith that God is capable of blessing him right where he was. The essence of sovereign grace theology teaches that God's blessings are based on His covenant promises, not our performance. This means that no matter our state, God's willingness to bless us is rooted in His love and faithfulness to His covenant.
