Today is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. This season is a time intended for more prayer and quiet times. In what's become an annual tradition, I've shared a creativity prayer on this day that I wrote several years ago as part of a creativity presentation I developed.
If you're struggling creatively, invest some of your time today and in the next weeks asking for a potentially new inspiration source to enhance your creativity and the creativity of those around you!
Lord,
Thank you for creation itself and the incredible gifts and talents you so generously entrust to me. May I appreciate and develop these talents, always recognizing that they come from you and remain yours.
Guide me in using them for the benefit of everyone that I touch, so that they may be more aware of your creative presence and develop the creativity entrusted to them for the good of others.
Help me also to use your talents to bring a creative spark and new possibilities to your world, living out my call to be an integral part of your creative force. Amen.
