Prayer: Thank you Lord for the gifts and talents you have provided to our history and to me. Let me use them to your glory and to bless others. Let me not grow weary in preparing, in toiling to create the witty invention, to have entrepreneur success, and to develop systems that will provide solutions to the needs of humankind. Give me a favor and the wisdom and strength to persevere. In the name of Jesus.
