COLORS

Holy Spirit, Eternal Artist,
invade the spectrum of my mind and my spirit.

Into the coal-hot reds and yellows of confusion and anger and pressure, come stealing: Cool-Blue-White,
with calming, soothing hope
and a rainbow flash of eternity.

Into the shadowy shapeless,
dismal grim-gray days of weariness and depression,
strike sudden lightning-white realizations
of Your brilliant Presence.

Infuse me with the sweet silver strength of hope in You.

Pervade my thoughts with the many hues of Your love.
Frame my vision with heavenly gilded goals.
Ravish my intellect with the infinite colors
and the royal purple of Your Divine Majesty.

Shape my soul: keen, sharp, brave, focused,
decisive in Your service.
Draw me to your blinding beautiful glory
and your everlasting sun-gold splendor.

All this I humbly pray,

Amen
