25 Prayers for the Activation of Your Spiritual Gifts

Scripture for Meditation: "“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit... To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”" — 1 Corinthians 12:4, 7

Introduction: Every believer has been given at least one spiritual gift by the Holy Spirit. These gifts are not for our own glory, but for the "common good" to build up the church and to demonstrate the power of God. Many believers have dormant gifts that simply need to be stirred up and activated through prayer and faith.
