2 Peter 1

 Therefore, my brothers and sister, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. v10

God gives all of us spiritual gifts and Peter encourages us to find these gifts as God designed us with a special - eternal - purpose in mind.

 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

 

I believe God gave me spiritual gifts in both writing and teaching but perhaps more.  I need to find ways to use these gifts and confirm and use whatever other gifts God has given me.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who is before, in and has created all things, including all of the spiritual gifts all of us have.  You have knit all of us together in wonderful ways just as You have knit each one of us.  Your design is amazing.  Thank for You for the many blessings of experiencing Your gifts.  I am not worth the love You bless me with.  I am weak and lazy.  Please forgive me.  Help me overcome my sin and turn towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal her of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us bring Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
