“Then Moses said to the Israelites, ‘See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills– to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts.  And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.  He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers– all of them skilled workers and designers.”  Exodus 35:30-35

     Not knowing what is expected of us, or how we can accomplish His work, can at times be unsettling.  We begin to doubt we have what it takes, or wonder why He would ask us to do a particular thing when it would never have occurred to us in the first place.  It is in these instances we often turn and walk away.  Instead of just walking away, try this prayer asking Him for the wisdom, confidence, and talent to accomplish His work…

Mar 23, 2010 -(Journey Through The Stillness) O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus within me, lead me in what is mine to do.  Let the beat within be strong and the longing ache ever constant, lest I forget.  Grant me the wisdom, confidence, and talent to accomplish your work through whatever means You request.  O, Most Holy Savior, grant that those souls, who for whatever reason might not otherwise receive it, may receive your saving grace through your most merciful and loving Sacred Heart.  O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus beating within me, commit me to thy ends and ask of me all that thy wish.  Your mercy and grace shall be my salvation.  Amen.  (As I am writing this prayer my heart has been physically aching, serving as a reminder that He is within.)

     Commit yourself to Him allowing Him to work His wonders in and through you.  He will not disappoint.
