A Prayer for Writers on the Journey

By J.E. Nickerson | Wise Thinkers Help Desk

Dear God,

I know You are guiding me on this writing journey. Even when the path feels unclear, I trust that You are in control. Please continue to lead me and shape the voice You’ve placed within me. Help me to embrace the unique calling You’ve given me as a writer and to see the vision for my future with clarity.

Encourage me when I feel tired or uncertain, and remind me that this gift of writing has purpose. Connect me with readers who need the words You’ve put on my heart. Let my writing inspire, uplift, and reach people in the exact place they are in today.

When I face criticism or feel misunderstood, give me strength and grace. Help me to stay grounded in the vision You’ve given me, and not lose heart when the journey feels long.

In Jesus’ name, I place my trust in You.

Amen.
