Worship Songwriting as Prayer

What changes when writing a worship song becomes a practice of listening, honesty, and prayer?

October 1–31 · Eastern time

A note to begin

The writing itself can become a way of listening.

Songwriting can be an act of attention: listening for what is true, bringing an unfinished thought before God, and making room for a melody to take shape. This month, we’re exploring the writing process itself as a practice of prayer—not only the finished song.

Carry one of these questions with you

  • Where do you notice prayer in your songwriting process?
  • What helps you listen when a lyric or melody feels unfinished?
  • What line, question, practice, or small beginning are you carrying?
