Reflect
We all have been made in the image of a creative God, and we mirror that divine creativity in millions of ways. Let’s pray today to find creative expressions to nourish our souls.
Pray
O imaginative Creator, help me embrace my own creativity
by revealing to me my unique ability to solve problems,
express emotions, portray experiences, invent solutions, and tell stories.
I praise you for making each human being to reflect you in a particular way.
Today, I will honor you by choosing to prioritize my imagination and live a creative life.
Amen.
Act
Put some form of creative expression into practice today. Even if you don’t think of yourself as “creative,” consider that any activity you engage in today has a creative aspect to it.
2 thoughts on “Channeling our Creativity”
Lord, because you have made me, I owe you the whole of my love; because you have redeemed me, I owe you the whole of myself; because you have promised so much, I owe you all my being. Moreover, I owe you as much more love than myself as you are greater than I, for whom you gave yourself and to whom you promised yourself. I pray you, Lord, make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge; let me know by love what I know by understanding. I owe you more than my whole self, but I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to you. Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of love. I am wholly yours by creation; make me all yours, too, in love. (prayer of Anselm, 1033-1109 AD)
This comment also helps me to be open to how others are channeling their creativity. Thank you for the beautiful thought and prayer!
