What if the coming year isn’t earned but given? We explore the surprising logic of undeserved favour and why it might be the most hopeful way to step into 2026. Drawing on Mary’s encounter in Luke 1 and Esther’s rise to influence, we trace how grace can bypass palaces and still arrive at your door with purpose, power, and timing that reframes what’s possible.
We walk through the greeting that changed everything—“you have found favour”—and unpack how identity, courage, and assignment line up when faith is stirred by hearing. Along the way, we break down three anchors that steady the soul in uncertain seasons: divine prerogative that ends comparison, divine power that silences inadequacy, and divine purpose that gives your gifts clear direction. These aren’t abstract ideas; they shape how you plan, pray, and respond when new opportunities appear that you didn’t engineer.
You’ll hear practical ways to prepare your heart and your calendar for grace: creating margin for new assignments, speaking blessing over specific areas of your life, and replacing self-disqualifying stories with language that builds expectancy. We reflect on how favour often starts as a seed—a conversation, a small step, a quiet yes—and how to steward those beginnings toward impact that reaches beyond you. If you’ve ever felt overlooked or underqualified, this conversation offers a different story to inhabit and a clear path to act on it.
