Opening Prayer

By Caylah Coffeen

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings…” queens, and authors!

Proverbs 25:2 NIV

Creator God,

You spoke, and the world came into being. By the breath of your mouth you created all living creatures. You made the stars and all their hosts, the mighty leviathan, and each of our souls. You are the Word, the Wisdom, and the only I Am. You ride upon the wings of the wind. You are a God who hides himself. How marvelous are your works!

You have given us all things, that we may subdue them to your glory – the wild landscapes, the limits of space, and our own minds and words. Teach us how to explore the secrets of yourself and your creation. Open our minds and hearts. Instruct our tongue that we may share your wisdom and wonders in words that move the hearts of man. We revel in this challenge! Take our pens in the palm of your hand and show us how to craft new worlds. Let all our searchings and imaginations be to your glory above all else.

We praise you LORD Jesus, Amen!
