What does the Bible say about writing?

Writing is therapeutic as well as a career. It might be reassuring to find the words to unravel emotions and put them on paper when they rise and become tangled, chaotic thoughts. Writer’s block, on the other hand, is something that all writers face.

Christian quotes about writing

“The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.” C. S. Lewis

“I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”

“Sometimes, only paper will listen to you.”

“If you have writer’s block, dig into it. You are resisting something. Something is getting in the way of your creative work. Resistance always means something.”

“Seeking to perpetuate one’s name on earth is like writing on the sand by the seashore; to be perpetual it must be written on eternal shores.” D.L. Moody

“The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.”

“Write what should not be forgotten.”

“First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.” C. S. Lewis

“If you’re running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you’re trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you’ll find that no job is all that intimidating.” Chuck Swindoll

give no place to the devil

When you’re a writer, anxiety and despair can hit you like a ton of bricks.

When we are overcome with anxiety and discouragement, we experience writer’s block. We have no idea what to say or how to say it. It might also happen when we receive an unfavourable evaluation or doubt our abilities to write creatively.

It’s vital to remember that our emotions don’t define us when fear and discouragement strike. Our feelings serve as an excellent thermometer for determining what is going on in our hearts. On the other hand, our feelings are not the body’s thermostat, which allows us to control the temperature. Our ideas, according to the Bible, must be taken, prisoner. We can admit to ourselves that we are afraid and discouraged.
