If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “God is showing you his kindness, Mary, so you do not need to be afraid”

εὗρες & χάριν παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ
˱you˲_found & favor with ¬the God
