God is working out your favor.

 “The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” Proverbs 21:1 KJV

God is indeed working behind the scenes to bring favor into your life. Proverbs 21:1 assures us that "the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord," meaning that no matter the power or influence someone may have, God can guide their decisions and actions in your favor. Just as God softened Esau’s heart towards Jacob, transforming their meeting from one of potential conflict into reconciliation (Genesis 33:4), so too can He shift hearts in your favor. As His child, you are positioned for divine favor, for His word in Psalms 5:12 declares, “For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” You are surrounded by His grace and favor wherever you go.

Consider how God used people in the Bible to deliver favor to those who sought Him. The Shunammite woman, who showed kindness to Elisha, was offered favor from the king and the army commander (2 Kings 4:13). God’s influence extended through His prophet to the highest levels of authority. Similarly, trust that God is turning the hearts of people to bless and support you. As you put your faith in Him, rather than chasing after human approval, He will open doors no one can shut and bring the right people to favor you at just the right time. Trust in His timing and rest in His promise that He is working all things for your good.

Prophetic Word: I declare that in this season, God is turning the hearts of influential people towards you. Just as the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord, so is the favor you need already being arranged. Doors that were once closed will now open in your favor. You will experience divine favor in unexpected places, and those who once overlooked you will seek you out to bless and elevate you. Just as Jacob found peace with Esau, so shall every adversarial situation in your life be turned around for your good. Expect favor, for God’s grace surrounds you like a shield. His hand is upon your life, and no power can hinder what He has ordained for you. Your time of divine favor has come!

Prayer: Father, I thank You for Your word that assures me that You are working all things for my favor. I come before You today, confident that You are turning the hearts of people to bless me. Lord, just as You moved in Jacob’s life and turned Esau’s heart from hatred to peace, I pray that You would soften the hearts of those who have the power to help me. Let Your favor surround me like a shield, guiding me into places of blessing and breakthrough. Open doors that no man can shut, and let Your divine hand move mightily on my behalf. I trust in You, Lord, to work all things together for my good. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
