A couple of quotes from Joel Osteen's best-selling book, "Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living Your Full Potential":
"Let me encourage you to start expecting and declaring God's favor in your life. Every morning before you leave the house, say something like this: 'Father, I thank You that I have Your favor. Your favor is opening doors of opportunity. Your favor is bringing success into my life. Your favor is causing people to want to help me.'
"Then go out with confidence, expecting good things to happen.......when you go to bed, continue thanking God and declaring His favor and goodness in your life. Anytime you get in a situation where you need favor, learn to declare it.......live favor-minded. Get up each day and expect it and declare it. Say, 'I have the favor of God.' Don't sit back passively. You do your part, and God will do His part. And you'll have everything you need."
