Prayer For The Uninspired

I sit here dried up, uninspired

pen in hand, but not to paper

My mind anywhere but here

my mornings dull and dry

My heart is thirsting for you

but my head distracted and my soul so weary

 

I know I’ll find life in your words

but my eyes just pass over and glaze

 

Oh show me the way

clear my head

consume my thoughts

breakthrough my soul

and flood my spirit

 

Help me out of this wilderness

this desert

and to the well

Lift your cup to my lips

for a taste of your goodness

 

Melt my hurry and worry

Chip away what this world has hardened

May this body be revived by your spirit

my soul renewed with your word

my head filled with your perfect peace

and my mind surrender to your will

 

As you breathed life into the dust in the Garden,

breathe life into my wilderness now.

 

We praise you, Oh God.

Amen
