“I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.” Isaiah 41:18, NIV

 

Thank You, Lord, for pouring Your Spirit into us.

 

When our writing feels barren, help us focus on your faithfulness which flourishes during seasons of hardship.

 

When circumstances have us feeling stuck in a dry valley, revitalize our souls with the cool currents of Your Truth.

 

When our words trickle instead of gush, refresh us with Your overflowing love and sprays of creativity.

 

Invigorate us with an insatiable desire to worship You.

 

Saturate our hearts with Your promises as we embrace our moments of stillness with courage.

 

Help us drink deeply from the well of Your grace, Abba.

 

Let Your mercy overflow into our praise and through every word we write.

 

In Jesus’ name, Amen

 

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, NIV)

How has God refreshed you after a dry season in your writing ministry?
