Esther 4:14
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Have you ever wondered how all of the pieces of your life fit together? Whether you are aware of it or not, God has placed special things in your life and given you opportunities to develop your skills in order to prepare you for your purpose. We see this in the book of Esther, which tells the story of a Jewish woman who was in the unique position to save her people from mass genocide. Even as the wife and queen of the Persian King, she didn't see herself as special or more important to God's plan than anyone else. She was just doing her best to survive. But because of who she was, where she lived, the time she lived in, who she had influence with, and the wisdom God gave her, He used her to save the Israelites from death. There is no question that God has given you skills, talents, education, financial power, status, or influence that are special to you. The question is how you will use them. Ask God to reveal His purpose to You. You will be equipped with everything you need to fulfill His purpose!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for everything You've given me and for every opportunity You've placed in my path. Show me the unique strengths, knowledge, skills, and influences You have given me so I can use them to Your honor and glory. Lord, reveal Your purpose to me. Give me the strength and courage to accomplish everything You've asked me to for Your purpose. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
