I know that in one of the tasks, Julia Cameron invites us to write our own artist’s prayer. This one is mine, and I lift the words entirely from the Bible, from the Voice Bible translation. The shema I adapted here for myself.
Artist Prayer
Listen, Rico.
Jesus is the Eternal God.
Jesus is the One True God.
And you shall love Jesus with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. You shall love all whom Jesus loves as you love yourself.
Our Father in heaven,
let Your Name remain holy.
Bring about Your Kingdom.
Manifest Your Will here on earth as it is manifest in Heaven.
Give us each day that day’s bread—no more no less.
And forgive us our debts as we forgive those who owe us something.
Let us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory for the Ages.
Jesus, let Your Kingdom be, and let it be powerful and glorious forever.
Holy Spirit, let me be Present with You. I love You. Amen.
Artist Creed
Before time itself was measured, the Voice was speaking.
The Voice was and is God.
This celestial Word remained ever present with the Creator;
His speech shaped the entire cosmos.
Immersed in the practice of creating,
all things that exist were birthed in Him.
His breath filled all things
with a living, breathing light—
A light that thrives in the depths of darkness,
blazes through murky bottoms.
It cannot and will not be quenched.
Having shared these, I don’t think I’ll have any problem using the word GOD during this round of TAW.
