Anne Elisabeth Stengl, author of the 'Goldstone Wood' fantasy series posted this prayer on her Facebook page about a month ago. I found it very encouraging and it reminded me of what really matters.
As a writer working in the middle of a novel, whether it be their first or seventh, it's easy to lose confidence and focus. But with God, all things are possible and ultimately, bringing Him glory through our words is most important.
I hope this will be a blessing to you as it has to me!
"A Writer’s Prayer"
by Margaret Realy
Heavenly Father,
Help me to trust that the words You encourage me to write meet the needs of those You guide to read them.
Let me continue to delight in the beautiful words written by others and not despair in the simplicity of my own. Help me remember always to thank them and encourage them in their work.
Guide my thoughts and my hands to express Your Holy Word in our lives. Allow me to follow Your will, to trust Your ways, to be unconcerned with how I write but that I write in the light of Your Light.
Lord, send me peace of heart so that envy and disparaging does not constrict my work for your glory.
Amen.
