Juggling

Lord, as I write today,
let your creativity flow through me,
along with your wisdom,
your insight,
your interest in people,
and your ability to love
even those with desperate flaws.

Please give me focus
beyond my abilities,
and productivity
beyond my capacity.

You who can juggle galaxies and worlds,
and oversee the activity of angels and humans,
please help me to keep all the balls in the air:
setting,
character,
plot,
subplot,
flow,
pace,
etc.

Make me more like you than I can hope,
you who started my story,
and wove it into the great story
of you and your plans for this world,
this cosmos,
and every soul in it,
in Jesus' name, amen.
