Lord, I think you for the promise that today brings, and for the opportunities that you’ve laid before me. May I honor you with my heart, may I honor you with my work ethic, and may I honor you with the work I produce. May my time be focused, and may I make measurable progress towards the final delivery of Collypto. I pray that you will grant me a heart and mind of understanding. I pray for competence and confidence. May you fill me with wisdom and insight. I thank you for the chance to get to work for my wife never needing to return to work again. I thank you for the trust and belief that she has in me and my ability to pull this off. May you be glorified in our success. I thank you for the lives that you will touch through us.
As I run hard after my goals today, allow me to be present for my family. While I want to work hard and finish what we started, I don’t want to throw them by the wayside until I am done. With me, there will always be another goal—always another target to redirect my energies towards. I don’t want to keep them on the back burner. I want to show my kids (and my wife) that I can work towards, and achieve, ambitious goals, while keeping them first. It is important that they see me do this, or they will follow the same patterns that I do. Jackson is just like. He is driven and competes with himself above all else. He will see his daddy become highly successful and it is important that he knows that he can contribute and be present in a loving family while he does that. Tatum’s love language is quality time and he craves that emotional connection. I need to make sure that he doesn’t equate business success with distance and coldness from those who are supposed to be closest to him. And for baby Alaysia, she need to know that it’s not okay to be ignored by a future husband, simply because he’s out securing the bag. Also, I love my wife. I can only do what I’m doing because of her support. I need her to know that, apart from you, she’s my number one. I want to win with her by my side—not with her standing on the side. Help me to prioritize my time with her, and show her that I can win at a high level, without sacrificing our relationship. She is the one that I wanted to build my life with, and I don’t want her to resent me for dragging her along, instead of building with her. May our children see the way that I love on their mother, and may our relationship be a healthy model for them to follow in their own relationships.
Lord, I pray against the fears or anxieties that I have about our Collypto launch and my ability to pull it off. You’ve literally orchestrated everything in my life to lead towards doing this. You started shaping my thinking and my attitude. You allowed the money to work out. The timing was just perfect for me to step into all of this. Continue the work that you started in me, Lord. Allow me to follow the path that you’ve laid out for me. Open the right doors for me that no man can close. Order my steps and allow me to prosper wherever I go. May I honor and represent you well. I thank you that I don’t need to focus on who or what I haven’t been in the past, but that I can move forward to who you are growing me into. In Jesus name. Amen.
