Assess your natural talents. Whether Christian or not, the vast majority of human beings are born with natural talents. Science would say that some of these are genetic predispositions, but they also are things you are naturally good at. Pay attention to what you are good at, such as singing, dancing, building or problem solving, to begin to find your spiritual talents.

Pray to a higher power. After meditating on ways you may be able to let your light shine for God, pray to find out how God is trying to lead you. It may help clear your thoughts.

Tips & Warnings
Getting council from spiritual leaders, such as your pastor, may help you determine your spiritual talents. Often, others may see your spiritual gifts more clearly than you do.
Avoid choosing a spiritual talent based on your own personal glory. While it may be appealing to be a leader, it may not be your place to do so or you may not be ready.
