Operate in that gift

Look What God has Given You
Power - might - strength:
δύναμις dúnamis; gen. dunámeōs, fem. noun from dúnamai (1410), to be able. Power, especially achieving power. All the words derived from the stem dúna- have the meaning of being able, capable.

It involves God doing what He knows is best for man and not necessarily what man desires. For example, John 3:16 states, “For God so loved [ēgápēsen] the world, that he gave.” What did He give? Not what man wanted, but what God knew man needed, i.e., His Son to bring forgiveness to man.
Sound Mind:
σωφρονισμός sōphronismós; gen. sōphronismoú, masc. noun from sōphronízō (4994), to discipline, correct. Self–discipline, sobriety, sound mind, sound judgment (2 Tim. 1:7).
