Philippians 4:6

Philippians 4:6 (New King James Version)

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
================
As I put the finishing touches on my manuscript, synopsis, and cover letter for my book submission, this scripture came to mind. It’s hard for me to totally trust God with my writing and not be anxious to land another book contract. Once my manuscript is out the door, I need to focus on my next work of fiction, and not worry about the rejection I may receive. I need to pray and trust God will help me find a home for my manuscript. If I don’t find a home for it, then that’s okay too. (Well, it’ll hurt if they say no, but I at least have to tell myself that it’s not personal!)
