Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long
Psalm 86:3

For almost 42 years I have tried to bring messages through print, from the pulpit and secular speakers platform that inspire, challenge and help people live vibrant lives of confidence and faith. If there is one thing that I have learned during this time it is that living in constant awareness of God’s nearness and willingness to guide our minds produces more positive outcomes than we experience when we try to go it alone.


I became acquainted with a successful executive several years ago who testified to this simple truth. Almost everyday he was faced with decisions that involved millions of dollars, the future of his company and the security of both his employees and stockholders. “I have a fine education, solid experience and good business instincts” he said, “but when I combine those ingredients with the wisdom that God gives when I ask for it, I always see things turn out much better than when I simply rely on my on background.”


Don’t hesitate to bring every decision and problem you face in your career, family and personal life to God. Then be open to his guidance, you’ll be amazed at the ideas that you receive that correct your thinking, develop a strategy and lead to positive outcomes. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long
