Prayer for Creativity by Trevor Thorn
On one occasion,
at a local Association of Christian Writers, another member challenged a small
group of us whether any of us prayed ahead of sitting down to write.
That felt a
considerable challenge – so the most practical response seemed to be to write one!
Here is mine –
which you are welcome to use or you may prefer to write your own.
Gracious Spirit,
inspire in me
holy creativity
that I may do
bold things for you
and to Christ's glory.
And here, a Celtic-style image of the flame of that same Holy Spirit

writes faith-based poetry and accompanies many of the poems with simple images,
either painted (mainly in acrylic) or in cross-stitch, or as computer generated
images. About half of the poems have a science and faith theme. He publishes all
of these on his blog, The Cross and The Cosmos which can be accessed HERE where you will find this heading logo.
I like that. I've copied it into my journal and I think I might make my own as well. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHelen, you are very welcome - and thank you for the encouragement. Trevor
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. So simple and yet infinitely challenging. I will certainly be using that prayer in future.
