May the work of my hands be pleasing to you, O God, and help build your kingdom.

[W]e are meant to walk in the light, and we have been groping along in the darkness.

The creative act helps us to emerge into the light.  

~~Madeleine L’Engle  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

We were created to walk in the light, but too many of us are groping in the darkness. We hold out our hands in the murky fog of our lives, feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled.

Our wonderfully creative God made us to be creative beings. Some of us have been given great gifts in the areas of art or music or writing. Others of us are wonderfully creative as we decorate our homes or cook our meals or do our jobs. We may find innovative ways to entertain our children or get through to our teenagers. Even mundane tasks are stirred with interest when we try them in a new way.

Discovering and using that creative, God-given energy is the key to finding our way out of the fog and emerging into the light. We take on a tiny bit of heaven, for the most Creative One of all looks down and smiles.

Prayer for Meditation

May the work of my hands be pleasing to you, O God, and help build your kingdom.

Scripture for Meditation

Have you never heard?

Have you never understood?

The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
