Artist's Prayer

Oh Great Creator, maker of
heaven, earth, breath of life, fire, gods, men, beasts.

I have come into Your presence to attain guidance,
with offerings of myself as a tool of Your hand.

To open myself to Your desire, and welcome Your ideas,
and to believe You will bring truth.

I will follow Your guidance.

I know that You created me and
the act of creating is Your nature and Your way.

I ask You to put my life in order,
so I can be beneficial to Your plan.

To illuminate to me that life is not at an end, that I can be healthy,
with You and through You I can be whole.

Limit not my love and acceptance,
and allow me to accept other people.

Give me knowledge of my fears and acceptance of them.

So that I may become loved and attain love.

Make strong my acts of creation
as an act of worship to You.

Written and translated to Hieroglyphics by Jeffrey Greathouse.
