I seldom hesitate to ask my readers to pray for me. I need
prayer in so many areas of my life. I need prayer for spiritual strength. I
need you to pray for moral purity. I need prayer for my attitudes and thinking.
I need you to pray for my prayer life. I seldom preach now, although I
still could and would preach if God gave me opportunities. Prayer is my most
important ministry. And in deed I need you to pray for my writing.
I have always worked at my writing. The first thing I wrote
for publication was written my sophomore year in college. That was 1968. I
have written regularly since then. But I never imagined I would come to a point
where I would spend most of my days writing. God had to allow me to be
afflicted with cancer before I would consider it. I had to lack the energy
necessary to pastor a church before I would consider retiring. And yet He has
granted me many years beyond what the doctors thought, to write and keep on
writing.
In Isaiah 30:8 the Lord spoke to the prophet.
"Go now, write it
on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may
it may be an everlasting witness."
I need you to pray that I will be faithful to write. I don't
know how much time God will give me. I have six more books planned, if He
allows. I need you to pray that I will know what God wants me to write. Most of
all I need you to pray for God to use my writing by His mighty power. Just like
a sermon, the effect of writing depends upon God. Pray for Him to be glorified
beyond all measure by His hand on my writing.
HOME IN THE WILDERNESS, my third and
final(?) novel in The Wilderness Series has been released. https://goo.gl/pJA4jK
This Saturday, June 18, 2016, the Kindle edition of HOME IN
THE WILDERNESS can be downloaded free. I am hoping some of you will read it and
put a good review on Amazon. Most of all I trust you to pray.
