How To Use Your Gifts Every Day | Guided Prayers

Today, as we pause our schedules and our lives, our job is to listen to our Heavenly Father.

Let's each find a quiet spot to get away with the one who loves us.

1 Peter 4 is a passage written to a church community.

Peter's instruction in verse 10 says, use whatever gift you have received to serve others.

Every gift, talent, and personality God has given you can become a way of caring for someone else.

Whether it's listening, serving, encouraging, or helping behind the scenes, your gifts matter in God's kingdom, and we carry God's kingdom wherever we go.

We each have so many areas we need to grow, change, and mature in.

We know this.

But would you thank your creator for how he created you and glorify him in your heart?

A humble perspective of ourselves is not just thinking less of ourselves, but rather having right, accurate perspective of who we are in him.

This might feel odd at first, but would you take 20 seconds and thank God for the unique ways he has created you?

Ask God to show you where your gifts can meet someone else's needs.

Invite Him to replace hesitation with willingness.

Pray that your life would become a channel of His love to your family, your neighbors, to your church community, to those in your world you may have never considered or taken note of.

Sometimes while we are right in the middle of serving others, we have to get a lot of people.
