For Me and Those I Meet

Lord God, as I speak to and teach and meet with
hundreds of writers today and tomorrow,
help me to instruct,
inspire,
comfort,
and guide
with wisdom
and effectiveness.

Grant more energy,
humor,
creativity,
focus, and
insight,
than I could ever possess
or relay
on my own.

Let your Spirit rest on me
and work in me
and through me,
according to your good pleasure
and perfect will,
in Jesus' name, amen.
