As I was preparing for my day today, I prayed something like this. I decided to jot it down so I could remember it. It's probably not the most original thing in the world, but it is heartfelt.
A Creative Artist’s Prayer
Creator,
Whose canvas is the universe.
Whose tale is history.
Who molded me in my mother’s womb.
Who made me in your image.
Draw me closer to you as I walk in your footsteps.
Guide my hand.
Open my mind.
Inhabit my heart.
Grant me clarity.
Honesty.
Humility.
And courage.
Clear my mind of clutter.
Focus my heart on your Truth.
Free my hand to express your truth through my craft creatively and energetically.
Occupy my work so that when others experience it, they might see your face.
Feel your hand.
Know you better.
And that when I experience it, I might do the same.
~ Ben Avery
