Writing can be a beautiful yet challenging journey, especially when you want your work to be more than just words on a page, but a true expression of God’s purpose. As a writer myself, I’ve learned that creativity isn’t just about discipline or talent. It’s about tuning into God’s Spirit, committing to the calling He’s placed on your life, and also knowing when to step back and rest.

In my Writer’s Devotional, I dive deep into three key spiritual practices that help writers stay connected to God throughout their process. Here’s a sneak peek:

1. The Power of Receiving

It’s easy to get stuck in our heads, trying to force the “perfect” sentence or idea. But God often speaks to our spirits in ways our minds don’t immediately grasp. The Holy Spirit is our Helper, guiding us and bringing to remembrance all that Jesus taught (John 14:26). When you lean into your spirit and trust His downloads—even if they don’t make sense right away—you open the door for divine creativity to flow through you.

Try this: Before your next writing session, spend a few minutes praying for God to help you receive His wisdom, not just your own ideas.

2. The Power of Commitment

God is a finisher (Philippians 1:6), and because we are made in His image, we are called to be finishers too. Writing a book or project can get tiring, and it’s tempting to jump to the next shiny idea when the going gets tough. But the breakthrough happens when you push through the mundane and keep your eyes on the purpose God has for your work.

Try this: Write down unfinished projects and ask God to reveal what’s holding you back. Commit to finishing what He’s placed in your hands.

3. The Power of Resting

Even God rested after creation (Genesis 2:2), setting an example for us. Rest isn’t a sign of laziness; it’s a vital part of the creative process. Rest allows your work to “work” for you — giving your mind and spirit space to receive fresh revelation and renew energy. Fasting, taking a day off from your project, or simply being still before God can unlock new insights that push your writing forward.

Try this: Create a weekly rest rhythm. Use that time not to hustle, but to simply be with God.

 These three practices are just a small part of what you’ll find in my full Writer’s Devotional. It’s designed to help you lean fully into God’s guidance while you write, so your work can truly be His.
