My blog, Inspirations by Kathryn J. Raths includes posts from 2009 to 2016 that were an extension of my Healthy Living Examiner column which has been closed. However, the articles are being revamped as an extension of Kathryn J. Raths.com, which is in the making! The image is a self-portrait I drew in oil pastels; the woods gift me a deep connection with nature and safety!

The ultimate expression is prayer, continued...

I've been thinking about and practicing the ritual of prayer a lot as of late. It has always been a part of my life but some days more than others. I believe creativity is the ultimate expression of the spirit and this directly intertwines with prayer. It is a powerful expression. I wanted to create something visual, a place where I can bottle my anxiety to protect my well-being and surrender it to God. This jar helps me visually process these feelings. I wanted it to look peaceful and be symbolic of a greater power. I used glass paint to render a praying angel on the inside of the jar because I do believe we have a team of celestial helpers who dwell with us. Prayer is a way to tap into this support system. It has been and continues to be a healthy outlet for me. It's my hope this Prayer Jar will help many others as it is symbolic of such a great outlet for holistic relief. This is an insert of the prayer I created that hangs on the outside of the jar:
I pray this illuminates my world, lights my path and welcomes celestial insight to create & embrace daily miracles in my life!
What are your thoughts about prayer? Is it a support in your life? Leave me a note I'm curious.
