Do you think the turnaround could have had divine influence?
Can you relate the story?How do you define ‘favor?’
What does favor look like to you?Are good things in life because of coincidence or because of ‘fate’ or ‘luck?’
Do you believe in a God who can make good things happen for you and to you as a result of His favor?
Why or why not?When you think of God’s blessing and favor, what comes to mind?

The Bible says that God blesses the righteous.
Do you consider yourself a ‘righteous’ person?
Do you think God would consider you righteous?
Why or why not?"If being righteous is doing what is right with respect to how you live your life, the Bible is God’s handbook on righteous living.
Ask God to give you a desire to learn how to live from what the Bible teaches and ask Him to help you live doing what is right.Ask God to bestow His favor and honor on you.
How, specifically, would you desire God to show you His favor and honor?When you seek to live right according to God’s Word, the Bible, you will increasingly live a blameless life.
While no one is perfect, you should seek to live blamelessly.
When you do this, God’s promise is that He will not withhold any good from you.
You will be the recipient of His goodness.
Tell God what good things you want Him to bless you with as you seek to live righteously.
