A WRITERS' PRAYER

By Josie Whitehead

Writer's Prayer (A)

Be the thought that enters my head, God.
*Be the words that I type on my screen;
And be the images that come to my mind
As I go onwards through my day.

​

You know what I would like to say
To others who turn to my writing,
And also the minds of my readers.
Let my words be uplifting to their souls.

​

Guide my fingers as they tap my keys,
And be near me as my words flow
Like water from a mountain spring –
Fresh, clear and running sweetly.

​

You know exactly the thoughts in my head
Even before I start to write these words.
Let my words be your words that I write.
God, in you I trust.  Be my guide and my helper.

*Write poems?  This also includes typing them, as I do of course.  This is such a useful skill that I can recommend you all to learn to type, ie touch-typing, so that you do not have to take your eyes off your screen or paper because you trust your  fingers to take you to the correct key.  I taught secretarial subjects for many years.  Josie
