as promised, a devotional for you #writers


Hey there Unstoppable Writer,


I shared this devotional with a local writing group and they asked for me to email it to them. I thought you might enjoy it too.

Please don't share it with others quite yet; it's going to be a part of my upcoming book When God Anoints a Writer.

Trusting God to Bring the Words

“Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, ‘I have put my words in your mouth.’” — Jeremiah 1:9 (NIV)

As writers, we often face moments of self-doubt, unsure if we have the right words or if our work will resonate. Jeremiah faced similar insecurities when God called him to be a prophet. He felt too young, too inexperienced, and unequipped for the task. But God’s response was simple and powerful: “I have put my words in your mouth.”

Just as God did with Jeremiah, He is ready to equip you with the words, insights, and direction you need for your writing. We don’t have to rely solely on our ability or wisdom. God invites us to trust Him, knowing He will supply what we lack. When we surrender our pens and keyboards to Him, He will guide our learning, refine our craft, and bring forth the right words at the right time.

Today, rest in the knowledge that God is the source of your creativity. When you face a blank page, trust that He will fill it with words that reflect His wisdom, love, and truth. Your writing, when placed in His hands, has the power to touch hearts and change lives.

Prayer:
Lord, just as You touched Jeremiah’s mouth, touch my mind and heart today. Help me trust You to guide my writing, knowing that You will provide the words and direction I need. May my work bring glory to You and be a blessing to others. Amen.

Stay curious and keep writing my friends!
