Day 39 – Friday
Romans
12:1-8
Spirit of God, we rejoice in your presence
among us. We rejoice that You are able to transform our minds so that we no
longer conform to the world’s way of doing things. You enable us to trust God
more completely. You enable us to place our whole selves at God’s disposal in
glad worship. You enable us to have a clear sense of who we are in relationship
to God and to our brothers and sisters in faith.
Holy Spirit, we rejoice that You give us
many gifts with which to nurture the faith and care for the needs of that
portion of the body of Christ in which You have placed us. You enable us to
place the needs of the body before our own and help the body to serve and
witness effectively in the world. We rejoice in your work of empowerment among
us!
You enrich our life together with many
gifts, but we pray, Spirit of Wisdom, that You will give many of us the gift of
giving, so that God’s generosity will flow freely to the world through our
lives. For those of us who are not
gifted in this area, help us to stretch ourselves to learn new practices of
generosity.
We rejoice that You have linked our lives,
inextricably, to one another. Help us to employ all of our gifts for glad service
that brings honor and praise to God in the name of Jesus. Amen.
