My Artist's Prayer

Somewhere along the path of reading The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron, the author, suggests that the reader/artist compose her own artist's prayer.  So I honored the request.  As time has flown by, and I'm not generating anything remotely creative, I remember that the Creator aids me in other paths.  Out from my stack comes my prayer.  I must say that most of the time, I get help in one way or another to wake my creative juices. Hence, I'm sharing my prayer today.

My Artist's Prayer

O Lord, the original and unique Creator,      

I'm seated here in Your name, 

That I may be enlightened

In order that I may be all that You mean for me to be.

I offer myself as a servant on Your path.

Please open my heart and mind

To Your generous creativity.

Help my heart, mind and soul to welcome

The Holy Spirit in all that create.

Help me to love others as You love me,

To nurture and hearten others in their growth,

To comprehend others' fears.

Help me remember that though I live alone,

I am never without You.

Help me to create as an act of worship to You.

Amen
