Peace.
From her book, Wow God by Sister Francis Clare, S.S.N.D :
I will open for you every door I want
and close those I do not want . . .
When you are beset by doubts, know that
I am still here. These plans are My plans,
not yours. You’ve asked to be used by
Me and I’ve told you that I will use you.
The plan is Mine to work out. I’ve not
given the plan to you.
I’m only asking you to be My tool. The
hammer does not know what the
carpenter is doing. It only follows the
hand of the carpenter. I will pick you up
and I will lay you down. When I need
you I will use you. I know what I am
doing. I know what I am building. All I
ask is that you be on hand when I need
you.
Because I have called you a hammer, do
not think that I despise you. A carpenter
loves his tools and the more he loves
them, the better he handles them and the
better work they will do for him.
I have many tools. They are arrayed
before Me and I pick the one I need. Be
content to lie still if I do not need you,
for I know where you are and I will pick
you up when I need you.
