Even when I am disappointed, my focus is on how to find solutions and the way forward to the existing challenges. Prayer has been a great tool that reveals the situation under my nose especially in business. I activate God’s promises through faith and the word of God . And through prayer, God reveals the problem, the truth and the wisdom to take necessary steps for my business.
