A Prayer for Writers
"I'm waiting for you... I'm calling you." “Tina, I’m waiting for you… I’m calling you.” God, please be my writing companion. Let the Holy Ghost write with me and be my ghost writer. Make me lie down in green pastures of comfort when I write. Free me from Fear. Remove the spirit of Fear that wakes upon me like morning dew. Remove the spirit of Fear that follows me around like a puppy. Remove the spirit of Fear that weighs on me like a sweater, like a scarf, then like a noose. Remove the spirit of Fear that chokes my good ideas. Give me your Holy Spirit of comfort when I write. Give me your Holy Spirit of peace when I write. Give me your Holy Spirit of truth when I write. Give me your Holy Spirit of joy when I write. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Thank you! That’s why I write so well when I’m on vacation. That’s why my journaling began, when I wanted to peacefully reflect upon my experiences just for me. There were no audiences to please....
