I bought a book the other day called 100 Prayers for Writers: Creative Fuel for Inspired Work by Bob Hostetler.

 

As I sat at my desk on this beautiful Labor Day morning, one short poetic prayer spoke to me.

Maybe it will speak to you too.

 

 

Against the Blank Page

Almighty God, I sit and stare,

a blank white screen

before me where

soon should be seen

the things I want to write.

 

It’s hard sometimes

to make a start

to fashion lines

to practice art

with what I want to write.

 

Help me rely on you

to move my mind

to push me through

until I find

the words I want to write.
