Writing Devotions - Part 1

Right now I'm working on a devotion. In case any of you are interested in learning to write a devotion, here are the basic parts.

• Title
• Scripture that relates well to your reflection
• Body of Devotion: Personal reflection on God/scripture/prayer. Share an experience or moment that drew you closer to God.
• Prayer that relates well to your reflection.
• Thought for the Day

 Each publisher will have their own specific guidelines (word count, format, etc.), but this gives you a quick look at the basics.

One publisher of devotions is Upper Room. These devotions are just 250 words each. Check out Upper Room Sample (devotions start on page 8-9) and Upper Room Writer Guidelines.

My response is below.

Why are we curious for things we can't have?
For fish in fishbowls that we want to grab.
We should be content with our current toys
And focus on what brings eternal joys.

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. Hebrews 4:15
