Prayer allows you to tap into the mind of God about your calling. He owns you, He knows your calling from beginning to end and I
believe, there is no better guarantee of success in calling than to know how its author/ designer wants it to work and what effect it
should have.
The Structure
Love
This is the one element that makes the journey of success worth taking. Yet the word in itself has been so massacred through out
human history that it seems to have lost its original meaning. Allow me to give you some of the truest definitions of the word love
that cause it to be a pillar of success in your calling. Please note that these definitions come from the foundation we established
earlier of the true Word of God.

Love is all that we should be
Love is patient and kind. Love is not ·jealous [envious], it does not brag, and it is not ·proud [arrogant; conceited; puffed up].
Love is not ·rude [disrespectful], is not selfish [self-serving], and does not get upset with others [is not easily
provoked/angered]. Love does not count up [keep a record of] wrongs that have been done. Love takes no pleasure [does not
rejoice] in ·evil [wrongdoing; injustice] but rejoices over the truth. Love ·patiently accepts all things [bears all things; or always
protects], always trusts [believes all things], ·always hopes [hopes all things], and always endures [endures all things]. Love
never ends [fails; falls short]. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will be ended [cease; pass away]. So these three things
·continue forever [endure; remain]: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. (1 Cor. 13, Expanded Bible)
God is love
And so we know [have come to know] the love that God has for us, and we trust [believe; rely on] that love. God is love. Those
who ·live [abide; remain] in love live [abide; remain] in God, and God lives [abides; remains] in them. (1 John 4:16, Expanded
Bible)
Love makes the sacrifice
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. (John 3:16)
