Transforming Gifts - Apostle

Lord, when we consider people’s giftings, we confess some of them are difficult to deal with. The prophet will upset apple carts and disquiet our minds. The teacher will insist on us continuing to grow. And the apostle will stretch our boundaries until there are no people who cannot become children of God by faith. Lord, when we want to complain about the problems people bring us, remind us that your Holy Spirit chooses to give us the gifts we need to do the work of your Kingdom on earth. Help us turn gripes into grace, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
