From a writer’s perspective, nothing is more daunting than a blank page. 

When I open a new document on my computer, I know that I have to fill that page—and many more—with words. Getting started is often the hardest part.

Tentatively at first, I write one word and then another and another. Once I have written those first words, more usually follow. They may not be the best I could choose, but at least they are words. I keep writing—sentence after sentence, revision after revision—until I have created something worth reading.

Sometimes praising God is just as difficult for me as putting words on paper. I feel as though I have nothing to say to the Holy One. But if I am willing to utter a few tentative words of thanks and praise, then the Holy Spirit comes to my rescue. My heart soon overflows with a goodly theme: the grace and mercy and love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Thank you, Holy Spirit, for helping us to praise God. Amen
