The Eternal’s Favor
For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover her with favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:12 In the Fall of 2020, I began praying for the favor of the Lord to be on me. I asked, not knowing the fullness of what I requested, but with trust that it would be done for me. Now, more than half…
