I work for a company that has been successfully developing and marketing time and attendance software/hardware for over 14 years. We are very dedicated and have bonuses based on monthly personal and company goals that are tough but attainable. This particular month (there's been more than one but this one stands out) we went into the last day of the month needing about 4 times the normal daily amount of sales to reach our goal. I forgot to mention that, being a Christian based company, we pray before our sales meetings. That morning I had prayed for what to say at the meeting that morning regarding the large deficit. God's answer was clear "Tell them they will reach their goal and to remember where it came from." After delivering this message to our sales team, we prayed, discussed business, and went to work. By the end of the day (6:00PM) we had called everyone we could think of (some twice) and though we had sold a remarkable 98% of needed sales, the company, and one salesperson, was still a little short. This person had reached the end of his rope and with no one left to call, another sales person and I went into the conference room and prayed for the individual. We walked out and heard this salesperson receive a call from an unexpected customer who then placed an order thus pushing him and the company over the top. Several dropped to their knees in thanksgiving and made pledges to give back to the Lord for what He had given them. We have learned never to limit what God can do.
