I’ve been in business for myself for about 31 years. Those close to me know my main form of growth and stability in business with my clients is based on prayer.
I pray regularly that God sends me the right clients for me and that I’m the right Personal Trainer to my clients. I pray I am the help they need and they are the help I need financially.
That’s been my key for years. It’s bigger and deeper than me, sales, marketing etc…it’s the power of PRAYER.
God provides when we ask and our heart is right. Faith in God should be at the core of our personal and business lives.

A Kids Prayer Before Meals
My two youngest kids usually have a go-to Prayer they use before meals when they are asked to Pray. I asked my youngest (6) to help me write this so I can share that Prayer:
(It’s like a rhyming song/Prayer combo)
We are thankful, we are thankful, for our food, for our food. All of us together, all of us together, thank you God, thank you God.
Amen.

Prayer and a Shooting Star
When I was about 17 years old my Mother was having some heart issues and it was scary for us all because her Mom (my Grandmother) had had an open heart surgery a few years prior. The tests were not going well and we were all very concerned. I remember one night clearly I went outside to take a walk to walk off some stress and worry and my girlfriend at the time joined me. I didn’t want to bother her but I started talking about how I was feeling about the test results and what we were in for in regards to options for Mom’s survival.
I/we had prayed that night earlier and just as my girlfriend and I were walking in the dark down my driveway we both looked up and saw a bright shooting star, clear as day, go across the sky in front of us…we both couldn’t believe and stood still and in awe at what had just happened as we discussed Mom. A calm feeling fell over me and I began to cry…not wanting to because I thought I’d look like a wuss lol but I couldn’t help it. I knew at that very moment God was telling me Mom would be ok. I knew with 100 percent certainty it was all going to be ok and it was.
About 18-19 years later my Mom had some pains and went in for a heart catherization and then had open heart surgery for the blockages and still lived more years until lymphoma came and took her life.
God was speaking to me that night with an answer in that one lone shooting star on our walk at that exact moment when I was sad and desperate to not lose my Mom. He answered my prayers as a teenager again.- Dave (Virginia, USA)

God Hears Our Voices In Prayer!
“Come and listen, all you who fear GOD; let me tell you what HE has done for me. I cried out to HIM with my mouth; HIS praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD would not have listened; but GOD has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to GOD, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld HIS love from me!”
– Psalm 66:16-20

Prayer Heals! Recent story of an ear problem healed!
When it comes to healing, God has provided an endless supply for those who ask. Sometimes healing comes instantaneously and other times we have to wait .
As an as an evangelist traveling for over 25 years. There are endless stories that I could share where I saw God do incredible things. When it comes to healing, we have to trust God to do it his way, often in the waiting people get discouraged and give up, then wondering why God never healed them. We must trust the process and allow him to do what he does best.
A recent story of healing and one that was so gratifying was a dear sister in my church. She had been suffering for a few months with one of her ears being stopped up the doctors tried everything drops procedures, antibiotics nothing seemed to help then she found herself getting worse as the other ear was beginning to close off as well. With her hearing fading, she become very discouraged and almost out of faith, but that Sunday morning The Lord impressed upon me to go over and lay my hands on her ears and command them to open in his name so I obeyed. I laid my hands on her ears, prayed that God would open them. I went back to my seat because I know that I’m not the healer. Later in the service she reached over excitedly and said, “my ears just popped open. I can hear better now than I did before this started.”That was probably a month ago and today her ears are still open!
If you trust God and believe in him, the miracles that he can perform are endless never give up just keep holding on and you too will see Him move in your life.

God is our Refuge. Trust in Him.
“Trust in HIM at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to HIM, for GOD is our refuge.”
– Psalm 62:8
So many times in my life have I trusted God and things would work out for the better. It didn’t usually go as I had planned but it went as HE, GOD, planned it to go.
Having Faith in God is what gets us thru. Prayer to God, those conversations with God, the desperate outpouring of emotions to our God is what helps us get on track and stay the course…Faith and Prayer is how we make it thru the tough times.
God is our refuge.
