Hello beloved,
Do you know what grace is? The bible word we interpret as grace is the Greek Word: χάρις
Transliteration: charis
Phonetic Pronunciation: khar'-ece
Root: from chairo
Vine's Words: Accept, Accepted, Acceptable, Benefit, Benefactor, Favor, Favored, Grace, Liberal, Liberality, Liberally, Thank, Thanks, Thankful, Thankfulness, Thanksgiving, Thankworthy
It is from chairo; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude) :- acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).
(Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary).
We can in summary say that grace is the favour of God on and in your life which of course you do not merit. It is God's immeasurable resources put at your disposal (free of charge to you). Note however that grace came because of Y'Shua and you cannot earn it by anything you do.
In this context, when we use the word "Grace", we should have a full understanding that it is the power of God that ensures the outcome without your qualification for it. By extension, if you say that you would do something by His grace, you should also understand that it means that that thing can be considered done!

It is not a religious cliché to mean that there is a chance that it won't be done and this is outside your control. This is not the case! It actually means that because God is with you and backing you with all His resources, that task or thing WILL be done!
When Paul said that God told him in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
"9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
he was saying that God's resources would outstrip and outpower any challenges he faced and that he would trounce and conquer them all.
Selah!
