Patricia Dawn, owner of Living Water Studio started this studio as a biblical creative life group where participants use the bible to create their own personal art journal.

This painting is acrylic on canvas. The below is my statement of faith about this piece in which I used many scriptures. This painting was painted to try and capture the many elements of the scriptures I chose.

Faith Statement

God, just as you cover the sky with clouds, and you supply the earth with rain and make grass grow on the hills, You use my tears to plant and water so that I will harvest with shouts of joy.

Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, you Lord, surround your people both now and forevermore. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains and remember that my help comes from you Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I look toward the heavens and try to number the stars and I and am unable to number them, but I remember Your promise of blessings and an abundant offspring to Abraham. For we, his offspring, will possess the gate of our enemies and will be blessed by You. Lord, You determine the number of stars and call them each by name. Great are You, Lord, and mighty in power; Your understanding has no limit.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves but a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. In You, Lord, I am your righteousness and I will flourish like a palm tree, I will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in Your house. I will flourish in Your courts. I will still bear fruit in old age and I will stay fresh and green, proclaiming that You, Lord, are upright and You are my Rock.

When I see a rainbow, I am reminded of the promise You made to Noah and every living creature with You and a covenant for all generations to come that when You bring clouds over the earth, never will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. I stand on Your promise and am confident that when the clouds and rain come over my life and when I go through deep waters, You will be with me. When I go through rivers of difficulty, I will not drown. When I walk through the fire of oppression, I will not be burned up; the flames will not consume me. I stand on Your promises and put my hope in You without wavering, for You are faithful.

I am blessed when I trust in you, Lord. My confidence is in You. I am like a tree planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. I am not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. My leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. I am blessed because I do not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers. My delight is in Your law, Lord, and I meditate on Your law day and night. I am like a tree planted by streams of water and will yield fruit in my season and my leaf does not wither, whatever I do prospers.

You Lord, Jesus are the vine; and I am a branch. If I remain in You and You in me, I will bear much fruit; apart from You I can do nothing. Now is my time to plant and harvest. I pray that I will be rooted and established in Your love and I will have power together will all Your holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is Your love dear Christ and to know Your love that surpasses knowledge, that I will be filled to the measure of all Your fullness.

Faith Statement

“The Spirit”

You Jesus, are my great High Priest who has ascended into heaven and empathizes with my weaknesses. You who are the Righteous One, are my Advocate, Mediator, and Helper. You intercede for me in accordance with Your will and You will be with me forever. Your Spirit is living in me and helps me in my weakness. You are the Lion of the tribe of Judah who has triumphed. I will be strong and courageous and will not be afraid or discouraged because You will be with me wherever I go. You have gone to prepare a place for me and will come back to take me to be with You. Lord, Almighty, Redeemer, and the Holy One of Israel of all the earth, You are my Maker and my Husband.

“The Soul” (mind, will, and emotions)

I am preparing myself for our union by listening to Your words and putting them into practice. I am building my life on You my Rock and it will not be shaken. You give me Your Spirit and grace to be able to handle everything I am given. I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly. I give You my heart and offer You love, adoration, praise and thanksgiving. I will store up for myself treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. By Your divine power, You have given me everything I need for living a godly life. I have received all of this through my relationship with You. You have given me great and precious promises. Your promises enable me to share Your divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. For this reason I make every effort to add to my faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. I will grow more and more like this and be more and more productive and useful in my relationship and knowledge of You. I will work hard to prove that I am among those You have called and chosen as Your bride. By doing these things, I will never stumble and I will receive a rich welcome into Your eternal Kingdom. You are ushering in a new order of things where there will be no more death, mourning, or crying. You will wipe every tear from my eyes. I will trust You with all my heart and not depend on my own understanding. In all my ways I will submit to You and You will make my paths straight. I will seek You daily and will find You. Earnestly, I seek You, thirst for You, and my whole being longs for You. My lips glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live and in Your name I will lift up my hands and be fully satisfied. With singing lips, my mouth will praise You. I will not let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up including myself. I will shout for joy to You, Lord. I will worship You with gladness and come before You with joyful songs. I know that You are God. I will enter Your gates with thanksgiving and Your courts with praise. I will give thanks to You and praise Your name for You are good and Your love endures forever. I will not conform to the pattern of this world. I am being transformed by renewing my mind. I will think about such things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. I will be wise and ready for Your coming. With my oil in my jar and my lamp in hand I will wait for You. I will be ready to meet You, my Bridegroom, so we can attend our wedding banquet.

“The Body”

You have searched me, Lord, and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be. When trials come against me and the darts from the fiery enemy, You Lord, give me strength and increase my power. I hope in You and You renew my strength. I soar on wings like eagles; I run without growing weary, I walk without becoming faint. Day by day You are making me new. I am a new creation in Christ and You present me to Him as a bride, a pure virgin, radiant, without stain or wrinkle or any blemish but holy and blameless. As Your Bride, I am making myself ready with fine linen, bright and clean, righteous and holy. I am Your child, an heir, a citizen of Heaven, Your friend, and branch of the true vine who is alive and complete in Christ. I am blessed, loved, precious, understood, beautiful, strong, satisfied. I am set free, redeemed, and more than a conqueror. I am Your special possession, Your temple of righteousness, who is seated in heavenly places being sent as Your ambassador and Your saint, as a light to the world to proclaim Your goodness. You have fearfully and wonderfully made me as set me apart. I am Your workmanship, having the mind of Christ, and being transformed into Your image, chosen and called…………...

……….I am the Readied Bride of Christ

From 2017 through 2020, I participated in Living Water Studios and created my own personal bile art journals. These are some of the various works that were created during this time.
