I struggled with my writing for seven years. Four years into
that struggle, I wrote these words in my journal:
“Lord, God, Creator
of everything; please forgive my lack of prayer and communion with you for the
past few weeks. I want to reconnect with you and let you guide my mind and
spirit so that I am completely in your will each day. I want to complete the
mission you gave me (writing your book). At the same time, I want to run from
it. Father, why is that? Lord of Heaven’s armies, I need to be rescued from
this inertia. Please help me get back on track; to stop wasting precious time.”
That was in 2016. In 2018, I discovered the cause of my
writing drought; I was the cause. It took another year for me to break the
chains that were holding me back. And now I am writing again.
Do you need your freedom back? In my upcoming book, God
Does, I will reveal all of the amazing things He has done in my life. And He wants
to do amazing things for you. Why? Because His greatest desire is for you to achieve
all that He planned for you. It’s that simple.
Are you standing in His way as I did?

CJ: I find myself not really wanting to write very much any more. I pared down writing my blog from three days a week to two. I also contribute to an online site and find myself recycling my old or even my current blog posts instead of creating new content. I have started doing more things for the LORD in the community where I live. Just today, I had a friend suggest we get started on a project that we talked about last year. I need prayer support for my writing and for the Bible Studies I am leading.
ReplyDeleteQuietspirit, I am praying for you...for your writing, your Bible Study, and for your sensing that the Holy Spirit is leading you into new things. May He fully equip you to discern His leading! He will refresh you and make known all that He has in store for you. Blessings to you as you listen! Love, cj
