“A person who is grateful cannot be discouraged at the same time.” – Dr. Tom Haggai
Last Friday my friend, Dr. Haggai, came to the seminary to speak to businessmen and women. I share with you his simple but powerful tips on prayer:
– Start you prayer by giving thanks for 4 things.
– Finish your prayer by saying, “Lord, today help me to do something great!”
Do that every day and you’ll be as happy and energetic as my friend Dr. Tom!
