21 Days Prayer & Fasting "Alive in Clarity"Sample

BE THE BEST WITH YOUR TALENTS



God wants us to serve Him and live according to His special calling for our lives. He has given us unique abilities, talents, and gifts and there is a place in this world that only we can fill.

How do we find that calling? Try observing it in ourselves by using the SHAPE formula:

• Spiritual Gift: God-given abilities to serve Him, which are only given to believers, eg. the gift of prophecy, interpreting tongues, the gift of faith, healing, etc.

• Heart: A collection of desires, hopes, interests, ambitions, dreams, and something we love. These things really interest us and we really enjoy them.

• Ability: Natural talent that you are born with. The things we are very good at, sometimes without too much effort, but many people say that we are very good at those areas and they are blessed with what we do.

• Personality: Our personality type (introvert, extrovert, melancholy, phlegmatic, sanguine or choleric). This personality influences how and where we use our spiritual gifts and abilities in different ways from other people.

• Experience: Life experiences (good/bad) that will teach us lessons that mature us and help us serve others who are going through similar experiences.

By finding these things, we will realize that in fact we were created by God very uniquely and differently from other people. He has a very beautiful purpose, which is to use our lives effectively for His glory. So, ask the Holy Spirit to find your SHAPE in these times of prayer and fasting.

Prayer:

Thank you for creating us uniquely and specifically, Father, teach us to find the gifts, and talents that You have given in our lives, that we may be ready to serve You better! In the name of Jesus. Amen.
