Three Key Elements When You Are Trying to Get Funding.

Be ready to ask the right questions when you have the right people in the room.

I have attended a lot of events in my career of serving communities, where small businesses, non profits, and other entitys are looking for funding.

Three Key Takeaways:

🔶Most of the time, the ideas pitched were too small, think bigger! Collaboration and innovation should be top priority.

🔶Funders know where you are by the questions you ask. Don’t just invite them to hear your story be ready with your portfolio and your ask!

🔶Do your research! The people you are pitching to are bombarded with requests. Know what type of grants, loans, and other resources they offer. Know your ask!

I watched a lot of ideas remain stagnant just off these few key points. Hey, you got this!
Let’s recalibrate, and let’s get it🤞🏾

I Pray Our Elders Write Books 📚

Many of our community pilars lived lives that never make it into the pages it deserved.

We lose so much when we don’t encourage them to write their books.

What if we helpedevery elder leave at least one book behind? It doesn’t have to look like what mainstream publishing says a book should be.

It just needs to be theirs—truth in their own words.

When our elders write books, we get to see who we are through who they were. And for us—especially as communities fighting to preserve legacy—that’s how we leave a legacy.

Imagine:
🔶A grandmother writing down how she cooked from scratch when there wasn’t much in the pantry.
🔶A grandfather writing about working the land, or building with his hands, or what it felt like to serve in the military.
🔶An auntie capturing the process of preparing Sunday dinners, the chatter, the prayers, the stories of family gathering around.
🔶An elder speaking directly to the next generation, telling us what they wished someone had told them.

I hope we begin to push the cookbooks, devotionals, poetry collections, family storybooks. Small or big. Self-published or printed on the church copier. We need those voices written down.

Father God,
Today we come before You with open hands and open hearts — asking for Your divine intervention over every matter concerning our hearts — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You see what we cannot. You know what even the best scans cannot detect.
You are the Great Physician, the Healer of hidden places, the Comforter of broken emotions, and the Strength of weary souls.

Lord, we ask You to move:
Where there are unseen blockages — clear them.
Where there are silent wounds — heal them.
Where there is fear — replace it with Your perfect peace.
Where there is weakness — be our unfailing strength.

Touch the rhythms of our physical hearts — every beat, every vessel, every signal. Align them with Your divine order.
Touch the places in our emotional hearts — every scar, every burden, every silent ache. Remind us that nothing is beyond Your reach.
And for every unknown place — the silent struggles, the battles no one sees — go before us, fight for us, and fill us with Your healing light.

God, we trust You with what is seen and unseen, diagnosed and undiagnosed, spoken and unspoken.
We receive Your covering today over our bodies, our minds, our spirits, and our hearts.
We believe You are already working miracles in ways we cannot yet perceive.

In Jesus’ name, we pray,
Amen.

If you need this prayer today, receive it.
If someone you love needs this prayer, share it.
We are covered — even in the unseen.
