Prayer is one of the most important themes that we will talk about through this entire course. Unlike the world, we must remain dependent on God’s wisdom to get us through ALL things. After all, the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it (Proverbs 24:1), so why not come to Him for guidance on how to navigate the business marketplace that He allowed to be created in the beginning. 

Though the business world today has tried to excommunicate God from its operations, Deuteronomy 8:18 says that it is God who gives us the ability to gain wealth. Throughout this course and beyond, it is absolutely imperative that we stay rooted in the Truth of Christ which is found in His Word and His presence. Nothing makes sense without Him.
