Dear God, 

I thank you for all your gifts in my life. You’ve made me unique and full of light for my world.

Your word says in 1Corinthians 12:4-6:

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.

Father, you have given me gifts, time, talents, resources and relationships, and you desire that I use my skills to serve others.

Please, Lord, help me strive to use these gifts and talents wisely for the benefit and progress of my family and community.

Let me discover the potentials and opportunities you have placed in and around me, and guide me to fulfil your plan for my life. 

Teach me to invest my gifts and resources and not squander them.

Lord, give me the grace to be humble, respectful and tolerant of others and reflect Christ to them.

Please help me to make the best possible use of mine and teach me to withhold judgment on how other people use their resources and talents. 

In Jesus’ name, I pray. 

Amen!
