God is trying to mature a gift in me but I am not ready

Please pray for me not to be a barrier to the Holy Spirit.

I do not wish to frustrate god or fail to mature to the point where I must be to responsibly perform my duties.

I wish to know and walk in his ways, but I have many bad habits and lack the true conviction and courage to do it.

There are a few things god seams to want me to grow in and I have been resisting it stubbornly.

Please pray that god may take away my barriers and help me to grow fully and quickly in what his plans are for my life. Please ask however to grant me a double portion of the blessings he has planned for me.

When the time comes I will exercise these gifts with joy and energy, if you pray, because it is beyond my strength, ability, patience, love, and capability.

Also, because such gifts also come with certain temptations.

[INDENT][INDENT]Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Breathe into me, Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Move in me, Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I may defend all that is holy. Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen. †

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †
