Edie here. I was fortunate to speak at the Mid-south Christian Writers Conference this spring and met April Thompson. April was our emcee, but is also a talented writer in her own right. When she shared this Writer's Prayer, I knew it was something I needed to hear, and something I wanted to share with you. Please give her a warm, Write Conversation welcome!

Lord you have put this desire in my
heart
to tell others through words what you
would have them to hear.
Let me use it wisely, carefully and
guided by you...
not to give myself glory or riches, but
to give you glory and those I reach a path to real living in you.
Help me to boldly write the words that
you want written
...not
afraid of judgment or condemnation, for if the words are from you, they
are true.
This is a noble calling I don't take
lightly.
You have trusted me to be a voice for
you.
Speak to me...give me the heart to
feel, the ear to hear and the courage to write.
