Take time to thank God for the abilities he’s given you. If you’re not sure what to pray for, say this prayer: “God, I don’t even know all of my abilities, but I thank you for them. Please help me to discover them. Today, I dedicate them back to you. I want to use what you’ve given me for your purposes. I want to cultivate my abilities. I want to honor you by being the best I can be. I want to use my abilities to honor you, serve others, make a living, and be an example. I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen.”

Because it is the only way to grow spiritually and be emotionally healthy. The Bible says, “Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed” (James 5:16-18 MSG).
