Hands of Grace

Let this be my prayer.
May I walk softly,
Leaving a trace of kindness.
May I speak softly,
From my Heart.
May my Hands do work that is meaningful.
Guide me toward gifting Grace.
As I have been gifted.
I ask Creator that you hear my prayer
That you know my Gratitude.
Hear my sorrows, concerns and Joy.
That you guide me in my work.
Guide my hands in helping.
Let them work toward good.
By your Grace, I sing to you.
Let this be a prayer
For Hands that work in Grace.

Work of Hands and Heart

Creator Spirit,
Make me an instrument of good deeds.
Let my Hands and Heart
Be guided, not by me but by what lies before me.
Let my Heart fill with Gratefulness,
As my hands prepare food, that will nourish myself and others.
My hands come together in Joy,
At the opportunity to create "Art" in any given moment.
Bless and guide my Hands and Heart
When I must comfort a Friend in Sorrow.
Creator Spirit,
Guide the work of Hands and Heart
That I may share with others the Love
I receive each day.
Bless you Creator Spirit,
With all that I have, and all that I am.
I am grateful for the work of my Hands and Heart.

Gentle Hands

Divine Creator,
Thank you for Hands
My hands, strong,
Knotted and well used.
Divine Creator
I ask that you bring more hands
That are kind, hands that hold other hands.
Gentle hands, ones that know how to soothe a hurt,
mend a button.
Kind hands.
Bring another's hands to their lips to kiss.
Hands that are knowing, that speak;
No word do we hear.
Hands that belong to mothers and fathers
Sisters and brothers, friend's hands
Divine Creator,
I am most grateful for my hands!
Invite to the world more
Hands that make love and art and kindness
Hands that can sit quiet in another's
Hands that know what Peace means and feels like.
Hands that can tie a knot, mend a fence, bake a cookie.
Divine Creator,
Thank you for the gift of my strong, knotted, used hands.
My beautiful hands.
