Finding Favour: O Lord, I Want Your Heart

Finding Favour
O Lord, I Want Your Heart
By Reuben B. Mushaike

Why do some people seem to walk in God's favour while others struggle through seasons of silence, waiting, and unanswered prayers?

For years, Reuben B. Mushaike wrestled with this question. He prayed, fasted, served, and sought God earnestly, yet often found himself wondering why life did not seem to align as easily for him as it did for others. Was he doing something wrong? Was there a spiritual principle he had missed? Or was favour something that could never truly be understood?

What he discovered would transform his understanding of God, favour, and the Christian life itself.

In Finding Favour, Mushaike challenges the common belief that favour can be earned through religious performance or unlocked through spiritual formulas. Instead, he reveals a deeper biblical truth: favour is not something we manipulate from God—it is something we learn to walk in as our lives become aligned with His heart.

Through Scripture, personal reflections, and practical spiritual insights, this book explores the seeds that cultivate a life receptive to God's work:

Obedience that flows from trust rather than obligation Faith that continues when outcomes remain unseen Humility that welcomes God's grace Prayer that seeks relationship before results Generosity rooted in love rather than expectation Worship that transforms the heart Perseverance through seasons when the harvest seems delayed

Along the way, Mushaike addresses difficult questions many believers quietly carry:

Why do faithful prayers sometimes go unanswered? What happens when spiritual sowing appears to produce no harvest? How do we continue trusting God when life feels unfair? Can favour be present even in seasons of hardship?

More than a book about receiving favour, this is a book about spiritual formation. It is an invitation to move beyond striving, performance, and spiritual box-ticking into a genuine relationship with God.

Because the ultimate goal is not to master a system.

It is to know a Person.

And in seeking His heart above all else, we may discover that favour was never the destination—it was the by-product of walking with Him all along.
