Your words slipping from my pen are wonderful
Therefore my soul longs for them
The entrance of your words gives light
It brings understanding to the simple
I opened my mouth and panted
Longing for your inspiration
Look upon me and be merciful to me
As is your habit towards those who toil in your name
Direct my steps
And let not self-doubt have dominion over me
Redeem me from the oppression of my internal critic
That I may follow your instructions
Make your face shine upon your servant
And teach me your mysteries
Rivers of water run down from my eyes
When my heart hears you whispering the truth
Psalm 119:129-136 Paraphrased
Mine kind of goes like this:
“Dear God, get me up off my ass and focused on my writing. Thank you. Amen.”
Love it 😉
Mine says, please get my editors voice out of my head for just 1000 words, Amen.
Yours are so much more profound. I may borrow them.
And I may borrow yours … 😀
