Mick Silva finds that his writing “is prayer and it’s abiding
and it’s getting away to be alone with my Inspirer, the anchor of my life.”
Henri Nouwen recognizes that same type of prayerful abiding:
Is prayerful abiding a part of your writing?
Perhaps you’ve already noticed: When we start writing, we
have no idea where our memories and ponderings and writing will take us.
Prayerful abiding can make a significant difference in our
writing.
It can open our eyes.
Prayerful abiding can change how we hear.
It can adjust the way we remember.
It can transform our hearts.
Prayerful abiding can help us recognize the bigger, broader,
higher, deeper story.
In those ways, prayerful abiding can change our stories.
Be a listener.
Listen to the Spirit.
Hear that deeper sound, that different beat—
and write your stories.
Be a listener.
Listen to God’s guiding, healing voice—
and write your stories.
And there you have it, your Tuesday Tidbit.
