My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1
Recommended Reading: Psalm 45:1-6
British writer Julia McGuinness said, “Writing prayers down rather than speaking them out loud or voicing them in your head can be a powerful, patient act of worship…. The very act of writing may make you more mindful and attentive to what it is you want to pray.”1
If writing your prayers seems strange, remember the prayers we read in the Bible were written down, which is why we can still use them as our own. Also, many of our hymns are actually prayers, such as the lyrics, “Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee.”
As we take time to write out some of our prayers, we discover areas of weakness that need to be strengthened and patterns of life that need to be corrected. We have a record of our prayers. When our minds feel unfocused, a pen and paper can help us concentrate in God’s presence.
Try writing out some of your prayers and think of them as letters to God. He knows how to read—and listen!
Written prayer brings a substance to our communications with God and is still totally portable. You can write prayers on whatever material is [at] hand…. wherever you happen to be.
