I ask that I start to settle down and help my family and community very soon. Let me be a financial pillar to nations and known as a global high;y sought-after agent of transformation, apologetically Christian and stand in integrity, moral values, and servant leader. Lord, I stand on your word and know that you are actively watching over your word, ready to perform it.
