Dear God, Thank You for creating me with purpose and blessing me with a unique mix of gifts. Too often, I let fear hold me back from using them. Forgive me for the times I’ve hidden my talents instead of serving boldly. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit — with power, love, and self-control — so I can step out in faith. Help me to recognize the opportunities You’ve placed before me and give me the courage to act on them. May my life shine brightly for You.
