"But His delight is in the Law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night."
Psalm 1:2, NKJV
Maybe I don't pray this daily (I do review several verses including this one on a monthly basis), but I desire first to delight in God's Word and second to have my mind saturated with it day and night.
Too often artists in particular and everybody else in general tends to practice what the Psalmist says is the opposite of being blest: walking in the paths of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners, and sitting in the seat of the scornful (Psalm 1:1). This influences their worldview and behavior.
Many who know me know I love hanging around with musicians, but in particular, it's musicians who live out Psalm 1:1-3. It may be hymnists who are trying to teach and exhort believers. It may be worship leaders encouraging the congregation to focus on God. It may be rappers and metal bands who are trying to reach a generation that has separated itself from the church to bring them back to their Creator.
Lord,grant us hearts that rejoice in Your Word, and a desire for it to be on our minds day and night. Give us discernment and wisdom to avoid ungodly influences, and surround ourselves with those devoted to Your Word as we are.
