MUNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE, DAY 191 Pastor Gabriel Prosper Streams of Grace  Global Ministries ‘The  Lord  will open  to  you  His good  treasure, the  heavens, to give  the rain  to your  land in  its season, and  to  bless all  the work  of  your  hand.

You want the  promotion direly, because  it  means more income  for  your  family.  So  you lie  in bed at night  tossing  and turning. You  pray,  “Father, please take  away  all  my  worries about  this promotion.

How did that come  about?  It’s simply  because  you  are  not doing  it  God’s way.
