God is ready to help just ask

Last month has been the worse month for my business in years, so bad that as I write this I can not make payroll next week and this had never happened since I opened the company 5 years ago. I have been praying and asking God for help and he is delivering.... I am not sure what is going to happen on the 15th (payday) but I am confident that God loves me and he is in control.

Part of this epic journey he is taking me on is forcing me to clean out the old baggage and that is NOT easy. Today in my prayer time he told me to talk to my old partner and that is not something that I want to do because of what he did to me. WWJD comes to mind but walking the walk is not as easy as it sounds. This person is very mean and hateful so the thought of calling him makes my skin crawl.

Please keep me in your prayers,

Peter

This was in my inbox today and it really hit home and that is why I wanted to share it with you all.

The Spiritual Realm
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1 by Os Hillman

"So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. 1 Corinthians 14:15
How real is the spiritual realm? My lawyer friend from Nigeria tells a personal story of how he was preparing for an important case. He knew that he must be prepared to argue five separate points. He was to appear before his country's supreme court, so it was a very important case.

As he neared the time in which he was to go to court, he began to pray about how he was to argue the case. He spent much time in legal preparation and intercessory prayer. As he went to court, the Spirit spoke to him and said, "Do not argue point one, point two, point three, or point four. Only argue point five." Imagine my friend's struggle of faith. If he were reading this wrong, the shame and professional fallout would be devastating.

The time had come to present the case before the judge when my friend said, "Judge, I wish to withdraw points one through four. I wish to argue only point five." The opposing counsel stood up and objected. "Your honor, he cannot do that!" "Objection overruled, counsel," said the judge.

My friend went on to present his case around point five only, and then sat down. When the opposing counsel stood to present his case, he stood speechless for 12 minutes. He could not get a word out of his mouth. He finally mumbled a few words and complained to the judge that he was going to have to yield. It seems that the opposing counsel had prepared to argue only points one through four, but failed to prepare for point five. The judge ruled in favor of my friend.

The unseen Lord wants to help us in the physical realm of our work life. We must acknowledge His presence and tap into this incredible resource He has given to each of us. Seek Him today and ask Him to reveal His perfect plan for you this day.
