I had someone on social media ask me about ever getting writer’s block. I know it is something that happens, but I have been writing this blog since 2017. It’s been several years, and I haven’t ever had writer’s block when it comes to writing about faith. Some days I write my post very quickly and sometimes it takes a while. I have even written for a while, then erased everything and started over.
The one thing that I believe helps me with writer’s block is I write every single day. I never skip a day for any reason. I write when I am sick, when I am on vacation, and when I am celebrating holidays. I write every day no matter what kind of day I’m having. It’s become a habit for me. I sit in front of a computer screen and my body and mind are trained to write.
However, there’s so much more to the story. I write about faith. There’s something amazing about that in and of itself. My writing everyday isn’t just about writing; it’s about God, my life, and prayer. How could I ever run out of things to write when I can reflect on my daily faith life? It really doesn’t matter what is going on in the world or in my own life, I will always have time to stop and reflect on how my relationship with God is going.
This amazing blog has nothing to do with if anyone reads it or not. It has become my daily prayer to God. My chance every day to not just chant or recite a prayer that I memorized, but to put in words how my life is being changed by God and how those changes effect my faith. I’ve learned more about surrendering to God and taking leaps of faith in the last seven years that I have in my entire life. I know without a doubt that it’s true: prayer doesn’t change God; prayer changes me.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
