Prayers for Writers: Praying God's Word Over Your WritingSample

Prayer Topic for Writers: Protection

Father, thank you for calling me to be a writer who glorifies the name of Jesus. I no longer live to make a name for myself. You have placed me on this planet at this time for a reason, and I desire to fulfill all that You have in mind.

I ask that You would keep me safe from the evil one. From the moment I sit down to write, may all the plans and distractions of the evil one be shattered. In the authority I have in Christ, I cancel every attempt of the enemy to prevent my writing from moving forward.

I also ask that You protect me from myself. When I feel like giving up, give me the strength and endurance to press on. When I sense my attitude beginning to sour, remind me of all I have to be grateful for.

Fill me with inspiration as I consume Your Word. Reveal things in the Bible that I haven’t previously seen. Set me apart as a special instrument who’s always available when You need me. May Your Truth wash me from the inside out.

Finally, I ask that the words You’ve called me to write would be sent into the world and reach their intended readers. Use my written words to encourage, sharpen, edify, and strengthen those who will read them. What a privilege to write words that could potentially be sent all over this lost and broken world!

It’s in the protective name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
