"Learn a simple prayer that will help you find your sweet spot in life."--Josh McDowell, author of More Than a Carpenter

"Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread."
Proverbs 30:8

Imagine finding new purpose and contentment in your work, personal ministry, and relationships. Open your heart to Agur's wit and wisdom, and you can learn to

* escape imbalance
* overcome fear of failure and eliminate envy
* joyfully pursue your passions
* reap the eternal rewards of trusting God
* find your personal sweet spot

In our modern, busy lives, embracing balance leads us away from bad decision-making and the emotional cost of trying to do too much or survive with too little.
