THE PRAYER OF AGUR
Uncover Your Sweet Spot and Discover Who You Were Meant to Be
Discover how an obscure biblical author shows us how to find balance, embrace contentment, and trust God--even in our modern, busy lives.
The Prayer of Agur introduces readers to a little-known biblical author named Agur who wrote a single chapter at the end of the book of Proverbs. Contained within this amusing, seemingly nonsensical chapter is a simple yet compelling prayer, in which he asks God to "give me neither poverty nor riches. But give me only my daily bread."
Life in the twenty-first century is way out of balance, careening between extremes. Too many individuals, families, churches, and communities are trapped in a desperate cycle of chasing wealth and possessions, while fearing poverty. So, this simple prayer has larger-than-life implications. When we live in God's sweet spot, we can achieve soul-satisfying equilibrium in our jobs, personal ministry, and relationships. As a result, we make fewer bad decisions and avoid the emotional baggage that comes from trying to do too much or
survive with too little. Jay Payleitner unpacks the wit and wisdom in this Old Testament passage, giving readers insight into how they can find a new perspective on the value of humility, the perks of moderation, and the eternal rewards of trusting God.
ACCESSIBLE MESSAGE: Jay writes with refreshing honesty and clear takeaways such as how to overcome fear of failure, eliminate envy, achieve balance, and pursue your passions.
SEASONED AUTHOR: A prolific author with more than 20 books to his credit, including the bestselling 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad and 52 Things Wives Need from a Husband.
IN-DEMAND SPEAKER: Jay speaks at up to 20 events each year, including retreats, Iron Sharpens Iron, marriage conferences, and churches.
RADIO INDUSTRY BACKGROUND: As a freelance radio producer, Jay has worked with Josh McDowell, Chuck Colson, TobyMac, Voice of the Martyrs, The Salvation Army, National Center for Fathering, and many others.
