Writer's Prayer

Dear Lord,

Some days my fingers are sore and I lose faith in the ability you've given me. I wonder why I'm trying so hard to write a story instead of tending to my family. Then I read a book that lifts my heart and makes me forget my troubles. And I remember again why I want to write. The joy of showing the emotions of fictional characters, laughing at their antics and celebrating when they find the greatest of all gifts, love.

I thank you, Lord, and look forward to every day You allow me to write and type the musical words of love into my books.

In Sweet Jesus's name I pray,

Amen.
