Let’s face it, in today’s world things change overnight. Those things you thought you could rely on are nowhere to be found. You dreamed of publishing your book with a certain publishing house. By the time your manuscript is publishing ready, they’re out of business.

It can be disheartening… well, except for one sentence that was written in another book: the Bible. God said, “I am God. I change not.”

Things like the demolition of pub houses, or a room full of rejection letters, or bland screen syndrome don’t matter to a non-changeable God. He’s got this.

The Bible also says that your gifts will make room for you. If you have the God-given gift to string words together into elegant prose, relax and let God swing open those doors.

You do your part. Be diligent about what you’re supposed to do. Don’t squander away your precious time in mindless activity. Instead, put your head down and motor on through that word count.

Get that proposal ready. Complete those edits. Prepare your pitch. Then don’t take a hatchet to the door you’re trying to open. That’s God’s job. It’s a partnership between you and the One who gave you the gifts. Your success will come.

Simply put, you gotta have faith!

Here’s the great part about that: God gave all of us some of it. Faith, that is. And you only need a dab of it to move an entire mountain.

So this week, just get into your story. Talk to your characters and let them lead you deeper into your plot. Let it thicken.

It will be alright. God’s got it all under control!
