Grace is defined as unmerited mercy/favor - not deserving of His mercy/favor. Please don't frustrate God's grace. I've seen so many people become angry with God, stop communicating with Him, won't acknowledge Him and think that it's all about their abilities. Trust me, God is your source for EVERYTHING. God's grace will take you places you can only imagine. His favor will open doors and make things happen for you. In everything you do, acknowledge Him and He will lead and guide you. If you're in your feelings and can't seem to get out of the funk you find yourself in pray; talk to God about whatever it is.
God's grace has helped me through a lot of personal situations that I know I couldn't have managed on my own. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul reminds us how much God's grace is so good towards us. God's grace is sufficient - adequate or enough. I find pleasure in knowing that the grace God gives me is enough to spread across my lifetime - I can't run out of it, I won't have too much of it and I won't have to worry about borrowing someone else's grace.
Can you think of a time where you know God's grace kept you from hurt, kept you away from harm or got you out of a dangerous situation? Sometimes we don't even know that it was God's grace that kept us alive and well.
I Corinthians 15:10 (Messenger) says, "But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it".
One way that I like to look at God's grace is G - God, R - really, A - affirming, C- Christ (Jesus) in, E - everything!
