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.

My Shorter Prayers
My youngest asked me the other day as she heard me praying when an ambulance drove by…”Dad why are your prayers short?”. I told her most of my prayers each day are short because it’s before a meal/snack, before work, when an ambulance or fire truck drives by, or I see a social media post of a friend or family member asking for prayer etc…but I do have longer prayers early in the day and sometimes before bed.
I pray about everything I told her all throughout the day, every day. It’s so important to me and my life and it guides me through each day. -
Give Thanks to the Lord for His Love Endures Forever
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.

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
