A business relationship with a primary customer had been going from bad to worse in the past two months. It looked like there was no hope for an equitable resolution.

I heard your sermon on prayer, on being specific when praying to God, and ending the prayer with, “In Jesus’ name, I pray.” I have always been a believer. I don’t often pray about specifics, but I did just that this morning.

Not long after, I got a phone call from my business partner, and it appears that just today, our failing business relationship with that customer has taken a big turn for the better.
