Morning Prayer 

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Inspiration 

Sometimes we think that our pastors and teachers are ‘more spiritual’ than the rest of us. They may have the ministry of the word, while the rest of us only do ‘ordinary’ things around the church like making meals and taking care of children. No matter what our role, we are all equipped by the Spirit to do good works for God’s kingdom—even if those works seem ‘ordinary’ to us.

Prayer 

Father God, thank You for the gift of Your Spirit. Thank You for calling me to be a worker in Your kingdom and for equipping me for the tasks that You’ve set before me. Help me to understand my gifts and joyfully embrace my role, so that You may be glorified in all that I do. And use me to encourage others in using their gifts, too. In Jesus’ name, amen.
