A Writer’s Prayer: Jeremiah 12:5

Lord, 

You know me so much better than I do. You know when I’m being impatient and when I’m hesitating out of fear. I want to run now, but You are still preparing me for a much bigger race—one that requires training and perseverance. In Your wisdom You know I need to learn how to face criticism as a tool to build me up rather than tear me to pieces. I need to learn that the rejection of a particular project isn’t a rejection of who I am or who I aim to be. I need to see there will be days when words come easily and weeks when they don’t, and that I need to continue on during both seasons. 

Anyone can run with men. Lord, I want to run with the horses. Not the tame ones that prance along. I want to be able to keep pace with the wild mustangs that run and run, and yet never seem to tire.

Signed,

A restless writer
