We have a staff member who regularly stops us in the hall or at our desk to pray with us. This morning this staff member prayed with me and I heard him say, “Lord, do us a favor…” I’ve heard him say that in prayer before and it tickles me. But as I think about it, isn’t every aspect of our very life favor from God? The next breath we take is a favor from God, it is unearned, undeserved and totally within God’s sovereign control.

I often think when I pray that I sound like I’m telling God what to do – yet in reality I am asking God for His favor. It is important to remember that.

Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, Psalm 106:4

I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word. Psalm 119:58

For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord; Proverbs 8:35

What favor will YOU ask for today?

Blessings, Diane
