DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer is about using the gifts that God has given us.

Lord,
Each of us has different talents and abilities.
We ask You to inspire us to discover and develop the best within us.
Lead us to be both humble and generous in praising others
for the good use of their talents.
Help me use my talents to create a better place for myself and others. 
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
