When we are saved from the penalty of our sins we have received the wonderful gift of eternal life with Jesus and a sure, definite favor in our time left on the earth. Not that we will not have difficulty but the kind of favor that helps us through with His strength, joy, guidance, and love.

Cause Me Your Favor

Lord, give me enough time to accomplish all You want me to do;
And enough energy to live successfully for You.
Stretch my days so within the hours there is good profit shown.
I know my life is not my time to spend on self alone.
Let me cause profit to another’s life too,
So I will be a blessing that also honors You.
Jesus, as I carry the cross prepared for me to bear,
Help me to of Your presence be aware.
I know You are the One that carries the largest part;
You are even the strength deep within my heart.
Your joy bubbles up from within
It’s because of Your mercy I’m forgiven when I repent sin.
Your love and compassion floods my soul
And in me and through me overflows.
Pack into my day a great desire to pray,
Help to those in need through their day
Give me opportunity to tell others how much You care.
Allow my heart and deeds prove You are with them there.
Fill my mind with thoughts tender…let my heart be true.
Help me to purposely and whole-heartily serve only You.
As I walk on earth and I travel toward the goal my King,
Cause a gentle breeze of favor to caress, as my heart in answer sings.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

Psalms 119:58
