INTRODUCTION

There are seasons when you need more than human strength.

You need mercy.

You need favor.

You need God to intervene where your own ability is not enough.

There are situations where one door seems to remain closed despite your efforts. There are times when you need forgiveness, restoration, protection, provision, acceptance, divine direction or an opportunity that only God can make possible.

This is where we turn to the mercy and favor of God.

The mercy of God speaks of His compassion, forgiveness and loving-kindness toward us. God's favor speaks of His gracious help, acceptance, kindness and divine assistance.

The Bible says:

God's mercy is not something we manipulate.

God's favor is not something we earn through human effort.

We approach God with humility, faith and confidence in His goodness.

Pray these prayers with faith.

WHAT IS GOD'S MERCY?

God's mercy is His compassion toward us when we do not deserve what we have received.

The Bible repeatedly reveals God as merciful.

“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.” — Psalm 103:8

God's mercy brings forgiveness.

God's mercy brings restoration.

God's mercy gives another opportunity.

God's mercy can preserve a person from consequences they could not overcome by their own strength.

When you pray for mercy, you are asking God to look upon your situation with compassion and intervene according to His will.

---

WHAT IS GOD'S FAVOR?

God's favor is His gracious kindness and divine assistance upon a person's life.

The Bible says:

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” — Luke 2:52

Favor can affect many areas of life.

You can pray for favor:

• Before God.
• Before people.
• At work.
• In business.
• During interviews.
• In academic opportunities.
• In relationships.
• In difficult situations.
• Before authorities.
• In ministry.
• In family matters.
• When seeking legitimate opportunities.
• When asking for restoration.

Favor does not mean that everything will happen exactly as we desire.

Sometimes God's favor is demonstrated by opening a door.

At other times, His favor is demonstrated by closing a harmful door and directing us somewhere better.

WHY YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR GOD'S MERCY AND FAVOR
