My friend, today's promise is taken from Nehemiah 2:8, which says, "The gracious hand of my God was on me." Yes, today, the Lord promises that His gracious hand is upon you. I was reading about Nehemiah in the Bible. When Nehemiah approached the king, the king looked at him and asked, "Why are you looking so sad?" At that moment, Nehemiah must have carried a heavy burden in his heart. That's why his face reflected his sorrow. Immediately, he shared his burden with the king, saying, "My city, the temple, the walls are broken down. How can I be happy?"

Without hesitation, the king asked, "What do you want me to do?" Nehemiah made a few requests, not just simple ones, but bold requests to rebuild the walls of his city. And instantly, the king granted everything he asked for. How did this happen? It was because the Lord was with him. The gracious hand of God was upon him, and because of that, the king showed him favour. In the same way, today, you will receive favour from everyone around you. Just as the Lord was with Nehemiah, He is with you, my friend. The gracious hand of God is upon you, and you will find favour in every situation. Wherever you think things are impossible, they will become possible because God is with you.

When I was applying for my post-graduation, there was a significant gap from the time I completed my undergraduate studies. I found it incredibly difficult to focus, study, and clear the entrance exam. Even after passing, uncertainty loomed - Where will I get admission? Will I have to leave my family? Will I have to move to a different city? But because of the gracious hand of God upon me, I was blessed with admission to one of the best universities in Chennai itself. The Lord made a way, and He has been helping me throughout my post-graduation journey. That is the power of God's favour. In the same way, today, God is going to pour out His favour upon you, not just His favour, but also favour from the people around you!

PRAYER: 
My precious Lord, I thank You for Your gracious hand upon my life. Today, I surrender all my burdens, knowing that You are my provider and guide. Let Your divine favour surround me in every situation I face. Open doors that seem impossible and make a way where there is none. Please fill my heart with peace and confidence in knowing that You are always with me. Let me find favour not only in Your eyes but also among those around me. Let Your blessings overflow, touching every aspect of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
