Pray for Favour

Tip: I have been stunned by the immediate and lasting results of praying for God's unmerited favour. Truly God's favour is better than silver and gold. I challenge you to esteem God's grace more than your own individual efforts and see what God can accomplish in you and through you! Meditate on these Scriptures and ask God how grace and favour apply to your life.
