Devotion Guidelines for Meetings

​

CWF Devotion Guidelines

  • Word Length: 300-400 words

  • Devotions should adhere to the CWF purpose: to inspire other Christian writers; to share ideas, enthusiasm, motivation, and experience.

  • Devotion content:

    • Title

    • Quoted Bible verse (include reference and version)

    • Devotion

    • Short prayer

    • A Writing Activity

  • Reference in detail sources for any specific quotations or historical facts.

  • Use writing to appeal to the senses. When appropriate, use dialogue. Show, don’t tell. Object lessons work well in devotions.

  • Possible topics

    • Answering your call to write

    • Overcoming writer’s block

    • Dealing with rejection

    • Encouragement

    • Accepting help from others
