* Prayer sensitizes us to subtle changes in the landscape of our circumstances.
* Pray for opportunities.
* Dreamers dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference.
* Dreamers think about how nice it would be for something to be done. Visionaries look for an opportunity to do something.
* Pray for favor.
* Focus your prayers on what you know needs to happen in order to get your vision off the launching pad.
* Plan as if you knew someone were going to come along and give you an opportunity to pursue your vision.
* Opportunity apart from preparation results in missed opportunity.
* Why should God bring an opportunity your way if you are not in a position to take advantage of it?
