What is Scripture Writing?
Does your quiet time feel rushed, distracted, or dry? Scripture writing is a powerful yet simple way to slow down, engage deeply with God’s Word, and find peace in His presence, no complicated study plans required.
What is Scripture Writing?
It’s more than just copying words, it’s about meditating on Scripture, letting it sink in, and hearing God speak through His Word. Writing the verses by hand helps you:
✔ Stay focused – No more skimming or forgetting what you just read.
✔ Gain deeper insight – Writing Scripture makes you slow down and truly absorb it.
✔ Strengthen your faith – The more you engage with God’s Word, the more it transforms you.
✔ Find comfort & clarity – Especially in seasons of doubt, stress, or hardship.
How to Start Scripture Writing
1️⃣ Pick a verse or passage – Follow a Scripture Writing Plan (I have many on my site!) or choose one that speaks to your season.
2️⃣ Write it out by hand – Grab a notebook and copy the verse slowly.
3️⃣ Reflect & pray – Ask God how this verse applies to your life and what He’s teaching you.
4️⃣ Go deeper – Jot down insights, prayers, or thoughts in the margins.
Bonus: Scripture writing is also a form of biblical self-care, bringing calm, focus, and encouragement when life feels overwhelming.
God’s Word is waiting to meet you, one verse at a time. Ready to begin?
Why Scripture Writing?
Life is noisy. Your mind is full. The demands never stop. But what if you could quiet the chaos and hear God more clearly?
That’s the power of Scripture writing, it’s not just words on a page, but a sacred invitation to slow down, breathe, and let God’s truth settle deep in your heart.
Why Scripture Writing?
✔ Deepen Your Connection with God – Writing Scripture is like leaning in to hear His voice, creating space for Him to speak.
✔ Find Peace in the Pause – Life moves fast, but writing slows you down, helping you absorb God’s Word instead of rushing past it.
✔ Anchor Your Soul in Hard Times – When storms hit, the verses you’ve written become lifelines—reminders of God’s faithfulness.
✔ Heal Through Reflection – As a Christian counselor, I’ve seen how writing processes emotions, brings clarity, and strengthens faith.
✔ Hide God’s Word in Your Heart – Writing imprints Scripture on your mind, making it easier to recall in moments of need.
Imagine drowning out the world’s noise and tuning into God’s unshakable truth. That’s what Scripture writing does—it centers you, calms you, and realigns your heart with Him.

I love how my friend Lillian from HeyCreativeSister explains it, “As creatives, we learn and absorb things differently. Reading the word is how we feed our souls, but taking the time to let it soak into our hearts will transform our lives. We can incorporate God’s word into our lives by methodically copying the scriptures, re-reading, and keeping a journal to help us absorb the Word of God into our hearts.”
How to Get Started With Scripture Writing
The goal of Scripture engagement isn’t just to read, it’s to meet God in His Word.
Once I realized this, I paused. I asked God to forgive me for being distracted and not prioritizing my time with Him.
I’ve always preferred writing out Bible verses over Bible journaling. I’m not a doodler (<<< is that a word?), but there’s something powerful about writing Scripture, it makes me stop, focus, and truly connect with God.
How to Do Daily Scripture Writing
1️⃣ Choose a Topic or Plan – Pick a theme (love, faith, trust, overcoming fear, biblical marriage, etc.) or follow my Scripture Writing Challenges—I’ve already gathered the verses for you!
2️⃣ Grab a Notebook or Journal – Use any notebook, planner, or my Scripture Writing Journal to stay organized.
3️⃣ Pick Your Favorite Writing Tools – Colored pens, highlighters, or markers can make your time in the Word more engaging.
4️⃣ Pray Before You Write – Ask God for wisdom, clarity, and to speak through His Word. Worship, surrender, and let the Holy Spirit move in your heart.
5️⃣ Be Consistent – Set a daily time to meet with God. Write one passage a day and let His Word transform your heart, one verse at a time.
It’s that simple! No need for fancy journaling, just you, a notebook, and God’s Word.
Examples Of Scripture Writing
Here are a few examples of my scripture writing and scripture writing plans. How to write Bible verses:
Pray as I Write – I invite God into my time, asking Him to speak through His Word.
Ask God to Plant His Truth in My Heart – I want His Word to be deeply rooted in my mind, heart, and soul.
Repeat the Scripture – I say it out loud or in my head, allowing it to sink in and become part of me.
Seek God’s Revelation – I ask Him to show me His truth—what He wants me to understand about Him, His love for me, and how to apply the verse to my life.
