Former Lt. Colonel Steve Russell’s book, We Got Him, shares about his troop’s relentless pursuit of former Iraqi leader Sadam Hussein. Over time, they became more mystified as to where Hussein was hiding. 

Then a prayer warrior from Texas called Steve Russell’s wife. He had a simple directive. “Tell your husband that God knows where Sadam Hussein is hiding. If he and his team ask, God will help them.” 

Steve Russell, Steve’s men, and a Chaplain began praying specifically about locating Sadam Hussein. Over the next three weeks, God began revealing information that directly led to Hussein’s capture. 

In Matthew 21:22, Jesus says, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” 

In business, we sometimes overlook the simplicity and power of asking God very specific requests.
