O God, my LORD and Savior, I know You long for me to trust You enough to be fully myself with You—to come without pretense, without performance, without masks. When I am transparently real with You, You are able to draw out the very best in me: the gifts You have planted deep in my soul.
This day—all day—help me to not squander the gifts You have so faithfully bestowed upon me. Let me steward them well, spend them boldly, and offer them back to You with open hands.
For Jesus' sake and for the sake of Your Kingdom come. Amen.
