Lord,
Proverbs 16:9 says... We make our own plans, but the Lord decides where we will go.
I have made my plans. I pray that You decide where they go. I pray that my novel will go where You want it to go. I pray that my words will bless, touch, encourage, inspire, correct, admonish, heal, and benefit who You want it to.
Lord, You have given me this gift. I am called to use it to glorify You and edify the body. Remind me to be gracious to myself and my failures, so that I may do just that.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
