Join fellow Christ-followers in prayer and fasting during Lent (March 9 through April 23, 2011). Use the "prayer starters" each day and then feel free to click "comments" to see how others are doing and to share your own journey.

Using Your Gifts

They asked only that we would remember the poor, which I made every effort to do. (Galatians 2:10)

Every Christ-follower must ask the question, "How has God gifted me to make an impact in His name?"

Cornerstone has been blessed to send many workers to the nations. At the Hope Center God has used builders, craftsmen, painters, farmers, teachers, children's workers, engineers, electricians, and others to "remember the poor."

When you see a need, ask God if He has uniquely gifted you with the ability to meet that need. Maybe those needed dollars are in your wallet. Perhaps the needed skills are in your hands. Are the needed words in your mouth? Is the compassion welling in your heart?

When Jesus came on His rescue mission for us, He gave His life for us. He rose again for us. And He has poured out His Spirit on us so that we might carry on His work in His name.

Starter prayer...
Father, once I have seen the poor, give me the strength to intervene according to Your will and with the strength that You provide. You served the least of these - including me! Now may I follow Your path and serve others ... especially those in greatest need.

Amen

  1. Dear Abba...I asked to be able to help someone and within 2 hours you sent them through my door. I ask that I be able to extend that blessing to them again today like you bless and help me everyday.
    Thank You for the privilege of serving this person and now let the Holy spirit guide me to share some knowledge of You with him today
    Your daughter
