        Solomi – I agree with you in Jesus Name. Keep reading and studying the word of God. That will empower your heart with the power of God. And keep seeking Him and His voice, it is the source of faith, as the Bible says, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the (spoken) word of Christ.”

        Hearing His voice and will is the source of faith. Once you have that you have most everything. Then you have to walk it out in obedience. God Bless

  7. My name is Nana from Ghana. And am very grateful to God for everything He has done in my life. Am going through some financial crises and my wedding is in July this year. I believe and have faith in God that all shall be well but also need you my brothers and sisters to pray with me for God’s guidance and protection.

    1. God has favor over you and obviously loves you. He will provide for you. Make sure you tithe and are faithful to him back. He gave you everything but is making sure you trust him with everything. “He who calls us is faithful and he will prove his faithfulness” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

      You are called daughter of the most high God and He loves his children completely.

      God bless you! And He will and is breaking the curse off your life.

  8. I need the favor of God in my life and family.please help me in prayers

    1. Benedicta -The Bible says that we have not because we ask not. It also says that if we have the faith of a mustard seed we can move a mountain just by speaking the words!
      Benedicta speak Favor Scripture over yourself and over your family everyday.
      Prayer:
      “Heavenly Father, I thank You for blessing Benedicta and her family and keeping them by Your great power. I thank You Jesus for making Your face to shine on this family and extending Your grace and favor to them. I thank You for the comfort and assurance that Benedicta and her family have in You Jesus and the great peace that it brings to them! Thank You, Lord Jesus for blessing them. In Jesus name Amen.

    2. Benedicta- you should also know that considering Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior puts you in perfect harmony with God the Father, who has forgiven and forgotten all sins and consistently pursues you personally as his beloved daughter. Why would our Father who gave us his only son not also willingly give us all things as we need them as He sees fit. You are a princess in heaven, and heir to the throne through Christ. You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Once you were not a people, but now you are a daughter of God. Once you did not receive mercy, but now you live by his mercy!

      That is his favor, knowing you are a redeemed, loved, seen and desired daughter of the most high God.

      And you should read Isaiah 61… tis really good

  9. Hi , I didnt know for sure if I could expect God’s favor I wanted actual scripture verse as thats truth and found it here Thank you now I know I can dare I say expect it because all my life I have been a day late and a dollar short. What does God’s favor look like?

    1. Believe that God is good and He wants to bless and prosper you more. What you seek, you will find. Seek Jesus first, and He will pour out His supernatural favor upon you! Heavenly Father in Jesus name today I look to You for You are the source of my help. I believe that You have good things for me, and so I look for Your favor upon my life. Thank you for your promises especially Jeremiah 29:11-14. Today I choose to set my mind upon You for I wait in anticipation for Your blessings. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  12. Hello, I’m new on here. I will like you to pray with me so my faith can be beefed up in Christ again as i have lost track due to many challenges that I’ve been facing.

      Oreva – We will pray for the grace, favor, and mercy of God to be over you and your life, but we can’t pray that your faith will grow. Faith only comes by hearing in your heart the spoken word of God. To get there you must plant and obey the written word of God and seek His presence.

      Original faith for salvation is given by God, all subsequent faith is something we must grow on our own, but it is not difficult. It just takes spending honest time in the scriptures and in seeking time with Him. Start now and let it grow. It will.

    2. Hi Oreva! Last Sunday we had this discussion on the Fight of Faith! Where does faith come in? Act on it! Act as if God’s word works! Confess with your mouth. God is a God of Process. Take steps to activate these steps. 1)Bring in His Word . 2) Prayer 3) Be Sensitive to His Word! This should jump- start your faith! Stay strong! I will pray for you and you can pray for me 🙂

  13. Thanks FaithMechanic. I am trusting God for a miracle. Thank you for your prayers.

    1. Author

      Rehema – I agree with you for a miracle from God. He can do it. He wants to do it. Trust Him and He will do it. I pray that you hear His voice and obey it.

  14. I am encouraged on d scriptures concerning favor because that is what I need right now. Been married for 3yrs now and it has been total hell from the beginning till date. Right now I am so tired that I actually want to leave the marriage. I ve been depressed, no moment of peace, happiness or laughter. When my husband was in money, he rejected me and his kids. He stopped my business but he only provides shelter and food and he refuses to make life comfortable for us just to punish me. I ve cried, wept, regretted, felt forsaken by God. I lost faith but I thank God that I am back in His presence. I need to pick the pieces of my life and I need God’s favor to do that. I need to get a good job or capital to establish my business. Help me pray that God will show me mercy for my past hurt and pain and grant me unmeritted favor in my life, finances, marriage and career. And that where my husband has failed to luv n take care of me as his wife, God will do exceedingly more than my imagination. Amen

      Onyinye – I agree with you in prayer that God will show you mercy and favor and grace in Jesus Name. I believe He will do a quick work in your life, finances, marriage, and career. And where your husband has been lacking, God will more than make it up. And God will protect you so he cannot steal if from you. YES, God will do exceedingly above all you are able to ask or think in Jesus Name, Amen. I speak courage and confidence and strength and peace over you, now. God bless you. Keep speaking the victory and what God says about you. Wait on Him and listen for Him to speak. You will be victorious in Jesus Name!!

      1. Thank you so much faithmechanic. I believe and trust God on his promises concerning my life. God bless you for your prayers

        1. onyinye: I saw your note and I prayed for you. I decree peace in your life, in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.

          1. Thank you so much for your prayers. Indeed God answers prayers. Since my husband abandoned me and our kids, we don’t lack anything. God has made way for me in another city as I’m about to get a job ( I’m positive I ve it already) and a comfortable and beautiful home has been made available for my kids and I. I am @ d final stage of packing up and leaving for the new city and I know that God is leading me by hand to my prepared place in the city.
            God has used both men and women to favor us thus far, helping me with large sums that has paid our bills.
            I am forever grateful to God almighty who sees n rewards accordingly
            I know He has just started with us and the best is yet to come.
            As He has heard my cry, so will He hear yours too.
            Expect more testimonies from me in Jesus name.
            AMEN

  15. Thank you so much for all the good work that you are doing and may God continue to guide you in this journey. You have been such a blessing. Kindly pray for my husband and I as we are struggling to get work permits in a foreign country. I recently learnt that my employer does not want to renew my permit and instead wants me to go back home. Our marriage is very young and we would like to start a family. Please pray for us. We need a miracle. Thank you.

      Rehema – I pray the favor and protection of God all over you in Jesus Name. I speak mercy and grace and supernatural help from God in this situation, in Jesus Name. Spend time with Him, read His Word and speak His Word. God bless you.

  16. Thank you for the work you’ve done gathering God’s Word here for us to meditate on. I found this site a while ago and printed off scriptures against depression. They helped of course, I know God’s Word IS alive and accomplishes what God intends it to. I am asking for prayer support too though, I know i must be missing it somewhere and not being diligent enough, cause I have been so sad and depressed for almost every day over a year now. I would think that the motivation of not being down would keep me rooted and grounded more but I get distracted so easily. It feels like I have changed and aged so much and I hate the burden it is on my family too, even though I try to hide it most the time i can’t always fake it. Please pray with me that I will draw closer to God so He can draw closer to me and that I will take the healing and freedom that I know God has for me. Gods grace and peace to you all in Jesus’ name.

      Larry – First, don’t beat yourself up, these are troubling times and I believe there is oppression in the air. That said, Jesus and Paul tell us that we can walk in God’s peace if we allow His thoughts to be our thoughts. That is hard work. I am fighting it myself. It takes a relaxed and peaceful but aggressive walk in the Word and the Spirit. What we are fighting is a spiritual force, not just us coming up with these pressures. Go to God for help but don’t go in guilt for needing the help. We (God and us) are fighting the same evil enemy. He hates us both.

      Yes, confess the Word but also spend quiet time with Him, and time where you bare your heart to Him. It helped David it can help us. This is a real battle. You are not the only one. I am hesitant to say this but, I believe it will get worse as the end draws near, and I believe it is. I will pray for you.

      1. Thank you Faith Mechanic. It struck a chord when you said to balance confessing the Word with quiet time, I even recently had told someone similarly referring to how Jesus would go off to be alone with God after large healing and teaching times, but hadn’t yet applied to myself. I believe you’re right about the oppression, it is almost palpable. And finally the word about not reacting in guilt and that we’re not coming up with the pressures helped so too. I appreciate the Holy Spirit leading your response greatly. It reminds me why I love Romans 8 and that I should read it again too!
        God bless you, I will be praying for you as well, praying one for another so you both may be saved, thank you again, Larry

  17. Amarachi I am so sorry for your loss. Your uncle Emmanuel lived a full life. Father God I pray for Amarachi and her family. Lord I ask you to comfort Amarachi and give her peace. Lord Jesus you know Amarachi and her family are hurting right now. I ask that you provide them strength and comfort in this time of deep need. Their hurt and grief is so deep Lord. I can only imagine how hard this time must be for them. I pray that you help them maintain their faith in you during this difficult time. Jesus I know you can be their greatest shoulder, but I also ask that you remain their biggest provider. It is a time when daily life can be so burdensome. Please provide peace as they work through their grief. Surround them with understanding Jesus so that they can work through all the emotions as they grief for Emmanuel. In this time Jesus allow those around them to help as needed. Lord help them in what they need during this time. Provide the comforting words, the kindness in people’s heart, and the patience to allow the grief to take its course. I pray these things in your holy name. Amen. Yoli

    Psalm 34:18

    The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

    And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

  18. my uncle Emmanuel is in the mortuary,but i just can’t let him go,he’s burial is on friday.pls i need u to help me pray He can’t go like that i know the God i serve,he’s full of wonders.i believe

    1. 🙂 Amen! Connie I agree as long as we seek God. He will take care of His children. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him/her as with a shield. Psalm 5:12. To god be the Glory!

  19. I recieve Gods grace every day of my life….trust me I am not just saying this….God is faithfull to his promises…….Glory be to the Most High God (MHG) in Jesus our High Priest!!!!

  20. I was reading your article about Jesus not being able to perform miracles in his town because people had no faith and didn’t believe. I said with my whole heart I didn’t want to be a member of that town. I needed a miracle so I am studying faith. I never had to rely on it as much as I have in recent years and knew I was missing something-belief. Faith in God is not necessarily belief. I believe, He helped my unbelief. Praise the Lord!

  21. :)Hallelujah!!! Praise God! Praise God! His Faithfulness and Loving Kindness is more than enough! Thank You Jesus for supplying Gretchen a job. We love You Jesus.
    To God Be The Glory!!!

  22. Who said prayer changes things???? I say so because I have been offered a job! It’s a temporary assignment, but they took me sight unseen. You must understand my position. I have been out of work for three years because I took off to raise my family. Employers are NOT impressed with my employment gap, BUT GOD! I am so very blessed by your prayers FaithMecanic and Yoli. I have the praise report you were expecting and I was as well. I hit my knees and praised God from whom all blessings flow!!! Thank you again for your prayers!!!

    1. Author

      Gretchen – Wow and praise God! We rejoice not in the surprise of God answering our prayers but rather in the joyous confirmation of your faith. And, of course, we feel appreciation to Him for the moving of His hand on your behalf.

      Let us be reminded to choose this same joy at the time we pray in faith, instead of having to wait till we experience it with our senses.

      I am so happy for you. Being blessed like this also cements our relationship to Him, and matures the faithfulness of God in our heart.

  23. Thank you so much for your prayer Yoli and your advice in God’s word. So many times we find ourselves in hard positions and allow discouragement to replace our faith. In this hard time I will allow worry to shape my prayers into praise and like David I will encourage myself in the Lord. Thank you and FaithMecanic so much for taking the time and effort to pray for me and my situation. I cannot express my appreciation enough.
