Prayer for the Week:

O Lord, if you have given me the gifts of knowledge, wisdom, administration, leadership and/or faith, draw them out of me for your glory. If you have given me the gifts of tongues, interpretation, intercessory prayer, prophecy, creative communication, or craftsmanship, please draw them out of me so I can honor you as I work together with others in the church for our common good. If you have given me other gifts, I await a better understanding of them in the weeks ahead. O Wondrous God, thank you for bestowing your Spiritual Gifts amongst us. Help us to work together for your will, our good, and to make Jesus Christ known. Amen.
