Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that all
Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching and training. As I write, may
I be a vessel for Your truth and wisdom. Guide me in using my words to inspire,
teach, and bring understanding to those who encounter my work. Equip me for
every good work in Your service. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Gracious Lord, I understand that well-crafted words are like
apples of gold in settings of silver. Help me, as a writer, to craft my words
with care and precision. May my writing be a reflection of Your beauty and
wisdom, and may it shine brightly to those who read it. I offer my words to You
as a precious offering. Amen.
I am currently thinking about NaNoWriMo 2022.
Working through some processes and systems. I really want to write some nonfiction, especially after two years of not writing any.

Dear Heavenly Father,
As I embark on my writing journey, I commit my work to You. May You guide my
thoughts, words, and plans, so that they align with Your purpose. Grant me the
wisdom and inspiration to write in a way that brings glory to Your name and blesses
those who read my words. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Lord God, I am humbled by the opportunity to use words as a
skillful writer. Just as the psalmist's heart was stirred by a noble theme, may
my heart be stirred by the beauty of Your truth and the stories You've
entrusted to me. May my words flow as gracefully as a pen in the hands of a
skillful writer, and may they serve a higher purpose. In Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen.
Wise and Sovereign God, In a world filled with countless
books and information, I seek Your wisdom above all else. Grant me discernment
to choose what is valuable and worthy of study. May my writing be a source of
wisdom and insight for others, not adding to the weariness of information but
bringing clarity and understanding. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Well, things are looking good. Perhaps I should have projected higher numbers. I should mention that I count any emails, blog posts, Facebook posts, and other kinds of writing in my daily total. So, anything I write or any picture I make for a project count towards my writing goals.
Here’s my calendar…
