I wanted to relax my spirit... to empty it from all things that have to be taken care everyday and at the same time to pray and send my wishes and good energy to those in need. I put some relaxing music on and sat down on the couch with closed eyes. When I opened then again the first thing I saw was an icon of Jesus in the room. The light was reflecting on the golden background of the hagiography.
...And I tried myself in a quick sketch while listening to a Byzantine Hymn. My intention was to let my hand go by itself, not caring about details or trying to copy the icon I had in front of me.

My phone is not a real canvas. It is small but this is what I have. Just use the means, the skills, the mind you are given, make the best use of them, improve them and go on in life with faith!
A Psalm of David.
1.O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and let me not unite with their choice ones.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave.
8 For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
