As I have heard Dan Wilt talk many times about lighting a candle each morning as a physical act to acknowledge devotion to God, and God’s devotion to us, I began to think that I too need a daily reminder, a moment when I center my attention and focus solely on Father God. I wrote this prayer to do just that. It is simple enough to memorize and recite on a regular basis, as a firm place to begin and end the day.
The idea to do a video was actually a bit of an accident. This is not media I normally use, but I have been learning iMovie while working on some random projects over the past week, so it is the medium I’ve been focused on.
I kept thinking about that candle…and then it came to me. I was inspired!
I used the video camera in my phone to shoot the lighting of the candle, then gathered photos of my own, as well as from my sister who is a photographer, and from a friend who did a photo shoot with me recently for my website. The song by Michael Gungor has been replaying in my head consistently over the past few weeks and has become my prayer, “You have me, You have me, You have my heart completely.”
This is my expression of devotion to God. This is “The Prayer of an Elemental Life.”
