The Great Awakening
God is the Giver of all Inspiration and we are the instruments of that Grace. They can be gifts or they can be vices, depending on the discernment of each thought or action. Discernment is a good Grace to pray for. That way we know what's good or bad. Taking it upon ourselves to be inspired by what is good for our souls is freeing and sensible. When anger or hurt lie within our hearts, we can tend to be persuaded to rebel and do something that is not good. Jesus teaches us to forgive and love our enemies. That's hard to do when the unjust actions of others is wrong or prideful. But the Graces and Mercies of God are always available in his Fountain of Love, whenever we ask.
Praying for Grace helps us remain calm and sane. It's only when we let our pridefulness get the better of us. Then we do things that are wrong. Like sin. Those are called temptations, which can only come from Something that wants us to do the opposite of what the Almighty One has taught us, and the only one that can do that is the devil. He doesn't want us to be happy or at peace. He makes it his goal to bring us down. Literally.
Inspiration happens when we least expect it and that feeling of Grace surrounds our whole being. Staying in the sight of God can make those inspirations Holy, especially when we give Praise and Honor to God alone, who is so willing to inspire us to do it.... In every situation, in every thought, word and deed.
He allows the Saints of heaven and our Beloved Blessed Mother Mary, to confirm those inspirations to Love and Honor Him through their intercession. The task at hand then, is to do something with the inspiration. We can get inspired while singing, reading, cooking..... Just about anytime, when you feel that Happy Light Bulb moment. Personally, I think Inspiration is another word for Grace. Grace is life changing. You feel the warmth of the Holy Spirit come upon you and a great feeling of happiness encompasses your whole being.
Inspiration and task. Our goal is to be genuinely inspired and then follow the road onward with the work that is needed to fulfill it's purpose. Making sure it is a true and good Inspiration.
