While doing some research for my current work-in-progress, I came across a cute poem that’s very appropriate for me at this time in my life. So… I decided to transcribe it into one of my vanity posts. By doing so, I’ll have easy access to it whenever I feel the need for its inspiration. Without further ado, here it is:
“A Writer’s Prayer”
Lord, inspire me to write stories that touch readers’ hearts.
Breathe your spirit into my characters so they come alive on the written page.
Help me develop intriguing plots full of twists and turns that capture the imagination and move the story to a satisfying resolution.
Keep me focused and on schedule, and take away any fear or sense of inadequacy that blocks my progress.
Give me the courage to step out in faith, to stretch and grow and to be the writer you have called me to be.
Amen
(Thanks to Debby Giusti, the author of “A Writer’s Prayer”)
