As writers, we love to begin a new project. It’s the finishing that’s gets us. However, just as we use God’s Armor against the enemy’s everyday distractions, we can arm our writing to battle everyday battles we face within our words. God’s Word offers plenty of wisdom to keep us focused. Here are 10 encouraging bible verses for writers to keep you focused on accomplishing your writing routine:

Every Christian writer needs to print those out and stick them next to their computer. May I add one? When people make comments on your blog posts that are disparaging of your faith: “For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:” 1 Peter 2:15.
