Heavenly Father, we know that you have created us as individuals with different talents and skills. We serve you in whatever ways we can. Sometimes we are called to take an active role; we may be required to look after other people; we may be expected to share our experiences with people we have not met before; we may have the opportunity to teach children and young people about your Son and His message to us.

Help us to study your word, to come to you in prayer and to listen for your response. May we know that sometimes we serve you best by simply being ourselves. May your love shine through us in our dealings with other people.

Amen
