The lie of the world is that the pursuit of pleasure will bring you happiness. The truth is that only when we pursue goodness will we experience happiness, and it is only when we live in relationship with God, the Ultimate Good, that we experience the joy we were made for, when we use our unique spiritual gifts and live with a servant’s heart.
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the diverse spiritual gifts You have bestowed upon each member of the body of Christ. We pray that You would reveal and develop these gifts in us, for the edification of the church and the advancement of Your Kingdom. Help us to cultivate servant hearts, using our gifts selflessly to serve one another with love, grace, and humility. May Your Holy Spirit empower us to be effective and impactful in our service to You and others.
Let’s pray for believers to have a deep understanding of the spiritual gifts they have been given by God. Ask God to reveal and develop these gifts, so that they can be used to build up the body of Christ.
Let’s pray for believers to have a servant’s heart, willing to use their gifts for the benefit of others. Ask God to help them serve one another with love, grace, and humility, without seeking recognition or personal gain.
Let’s pray for the Holy Spirit to empower believers to use their spiritual gifts effectively. Ask God to provide opportunities for them to serve and impact the lives of others, both within the church and in the community.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Smitten With Goodness
