25 Scriptures on God’s Favour plus Powerful Prayer Points

Favour is the unearned, undeserved kindness and goodness of God shown to His people. It is when God gives you special treatment, opens doors no one else can, and blesses you beyond your natural qualifications or abilities.

In the Bible, favour is closely tied to grace. The Hebrew word often translated as favour is "chen", meaning grace or kindness. It reflects God’s divine assistance, presence, and provision working on your behalf.

Experiencing the favour of God is like walking under an open heaven. His favour opens doors no man can shut, brings breakthroughs in impossible situations, and marks you with divine help. The good news? God's favour is available to every believer who walks in faith and obedience.
