Pressure.
Comparison.
Envy.
Competition.
It’s easy to feel trapped by what we don’t have rather than celebratory over what we do have.
But as we live lives that seek to honor Him, may we do so using the gifts and talents He has given us rather than wishing to be like someone else or have what they have.
Lord, in our efforts to serve, help us be true to who we are in you. Make us see and understand the gifts and talents you have given us, and give us courage to use them for the building up of your Kingdom.
Amen
