DAY 2: Your Name is Favor

What do you do when it seems as though your life is not being lived in the way that reflects the call of God on your life? You are chosen, called out, anointed, and in covenant with God. His favor, grace, and blessing should be apparent in your life.

But here you are—no productivity, no fruitfulness, no increase, and no multiplication. Your name is Hannah. Your name is favor. Your name is grace. But there is no demonstration of the favor or grace of God in your life.

I believe Hannah held on despite her feelings. God had not forgotten her, and God has not forgotten you. He has a plan.

With each new level God brings you to, there is a new level of demonic opposition. Some of the men and women of God we admire—giants in the faith—had to overcome significant hardships to arrive at the place we see them in. This is the core lesson in Hannah’s story: She did not give up. Year after year, in the face of endless taunts, mocking, and accusation, she continued her pursuit for what she knew the Lord willed for her life.

A Prayer to Release the Blessing of Hannah: What the enemy meant for evil, You’re turning around for my good.
