A prayer of hospitality for myself.

Prayer of Strength and Softness
Brigantia,
Spear-bearer,
Weaver,
Hearth-keeper,
aid me in making a safe haven of my own.
Wherever that may be, let me find ways to support myself
so that I may provide a safe haven for others.
Hospitality runs on fuel, but that hearthfire cannot burn without fuel.
May I learn to sustain myself so that I may sustain others.
As You wield Your spear in defense, grant me fierceness.
Also, may I know tenderness, as You similarly weave gentleness.
May my heart, mind, and hands know strength and softness.
