FAVOR: “The LORD moves in others to grant you favor.” Daniel 1:8

But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel. Daniel 1:8–9a

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the unmerited favor You have shown me through Jesus Christ. I praise You for the remarkable ways You have enabled business executives and others in the marketplace to show me favor and compassion, just as You did for Daniel with the chief official. Holy Spirit, give me the resolve to stand in faith and have the courage to be like Daniel, resolving to honor our Lord Jesus Christ without compromise whenever I face opposition. Lord Jesus, may the favor and successes I have received from You never lead to pride or self-reliance, but rather to complete dependence on God. I ask this in Your mighty name. Amen
