Prayer Focus-Favor of the Lord

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at the prayer request of Moses for the favor of the Lord.

We all need the favor of God to shine on us if we want Him to shine through us.

In Psalm 90:17, Moses prayed, “May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the work of our hands.”

This was a prayer for guidance. We need God’s direction to give us meaning and purpose for what we do.

This was also a prayer for strength. Only with God’s strength do we have the capability of accomplishing God’s will for our lives.

Committing our efforts to Jesus helps us to remember the Lord of our work as we work for the Lord.

The prayer request of Moses for the favor of the Lord is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
