    The Trifecta To Walking In God's Favor: Faith, Patience & Obedience

    In this episode of Pretty Intentional, Candice delves into the concept of walking in God's favor through a spiritual lens. She emphasizes the importance of faith, patience, and obedience as the trifecta necessary for manifesting blessings. Candice encourages listeners to actively engage in their faith journey, prepare for their desires, and align with God's will to truly experience the overflow of favor in their lives. Takeaways Favor is about alignment, not favoritism. Faith is the foundation for receiving blessings. Patience requires active endurance, not passive waiting. Obedience is crucial for aligning with God's plan. You must prepare for what you are praying for. Waiting is an opportunity for personal development.
