Writing with God: A Journey of Connection and Creativity

We can only go so far with our wisdom and knowledge. While I can write, it’s not the same as when God writes through me. I draw from my wisdom, knowledge, and experiences when I write. But when I allow God to write through me, His wisdom and understanding come through.

Oh, how I struggle with this. I want to be in control and hold the pen. I want to fully understand what I’m writing and why I’m writing it. But writing with God is different. I don’t create the words. I listen to them.

To hear the Lord, I must be humble and desire to listen to Him. I have to want Him to write through me. Otherwise, I take off in myself.

In myself, I can’t really help anyone. I don’t have that ability. But when the spirit of God communicates with my spirit, beautiful things happen. God gives me good thoughts that stick. God’s words touch our hearts and soothe our heartaches.

Remaining in the flesh and only writing surface-level things is easier. There’s no warfare in that. The enemy will let me write all day long that way. But the minute God’s spirit intertwines with mine, the battle begins.

The enemy fights me. He comes at me with every distraction possible. He wants me to break my connection with God. But if I stay present in the moment with God, He will show me how to prevail.

So much of our lives is about staying in the moment. The enemy tries to get us to run away from God and the things He wants to share with us. He tries to get our minds on other things—anything to break our connection with God in the moment.

But there is something so powerful about staying in the moment with the Lord.

God wants to talk to us.
He wants to show us things.
God wants to help us with our problems.
He wants to lead us out of our misery.

Therefore, we have to stop running away. The day God saved us, He transformed us. We are enough in Him. In God, we have everything we need. When we sit with Him, He will teach us through His spirit.

So many times, I have felt God wanting to talk to me, but I put it off. I had something to do right then. But then, when I was ready to communicate with God, the spirit was gone.

God wants us to answer Him and make time for Him when He calls us. When I really consider it all, it is ridiculous of me to ever deny the Lord or put Him off for another time.

The spirit of the Lord is wonderful. Nothing else can compare to God’s spirit. It comforts, instructs, and helps us in ways we can’t even comprehend.

Something truly beautiful happens when I embrace it and open myself up to it. In the moments when I am aligned with God, nothing else matters. I feel so close and connected to Him. And that’s what my soul needs—a true connection with God.

I am not afraid or worried about things when I feel His spirit. In the deepest places of my soul, I know that God has got me. Whatever I need, He’s got it. And I feel so incredibly loved.
