Lord, thank You for the unique way You have designed me. Show me the gifts You have entrusted to me and give me the courage to use them for Your glory. Help me to serve others with a joyful heart, seeking only to build Your kingdom and honor Your name. Amen.

You are not an accident in the Body of Christ; you are a necessity. As you discover and deploy your spiritual gifts, remember that you are a steward of God’s grace. Your service matters, and your contribution is vital to the health and growth of the church.
