Perspective for Writers

by Sarah Van Diest

“And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart” Hebrews 12:1b-3.

I need You, Father, so very much.

I’m struggling today. In words to a writer friend I wrote, “I think this writer’s-giant-mountain-of-a-wall is going to swallow me whole and eat me alive. That’s all.” Do you know what I’m talking about? I’m paralyzed with words of every size and color shooting through my brain and hitting the canvas of my writing like bugs splattered on the windshield. It’s a gooey, bloody mess.
