Hello, hello! Welcome to the Useful Writing Prompts: Faith Themed. Here you will find faith themed prompts that come from Bible scriptures. These writing prompts can help you create whatever creation God has put in you. First, you’ll be introduced to the prompt name. Then you will find the prompt, which will be a verse or multiple verses that relate to faith. Lastly, you will find five questions to help direct your creation. This will help create an efficient and effective writing session.

#1. A gift from God
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 (NASB)

Questions:

1. What does it mean to be saved through faith?
2. How can the answer of the first question become a main theme of your story?
3. Is your main character someone figuring out the answer to the first question or helping someone else learn?
4. Why did you choose this prompt? Whatever your answer is, have someone in your writing make a decision for the same reason.
5. Is your story set in a contemporary setting, historical setting, sci-fi, setting or even a fantasy setting?

#2 Faith but no works
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:25 (NKJV)

Questions:

1. How can you show the difference of faith on its own versus faith with works between characters or scenarios?
2. Is this the main theme of the writing or a subplot?
3. Does your main character(s) already know this verse and what it means?
4. Who needs to learn this concept in your writing?
5. Is your story set in a contemporary setting, historical setting, sci-fi, setting or even a fantasy setting?
6. Bonus Question: What would a poem on this verse look like and feel like to you? Maybe try putting that in your writing as an experience of a character or just actually write it as a poem.

#3 Evidence not seen
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Questions:

1. Does your main character struggle with the idea of not seeing?
2. If so, how does God reveal himself in a way that calms those worries?
3. What is the purpose of using this verse as a prompt for your writing?
4. Why did this verse stand out to you as a good prompt? Have your character go through a similar experience with the verse or anything else.
5. Is your story set in a contemporary setting, historical setting, sci-fi, setting or even a fantasy setting?

#4 Walking by Faith
Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord- for we walk by faith, not by sight- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (NASB)

Questions:

1. Read the surrounding verses for more context if necessary. Is this a theme of your writing or passing comment?
2. What does it mean to walk by faith, not by sight?
3. Does your character(s) literally walk by faith and not sight in a sci-fi/fantasy world, spiritually in a contemporary world, or a mixture of both?
4. Is it one person that is affected by this verse or a group of people in your writing?
5. Why did you choose this prompt? Whatever your answer is, have someone in your writing make a decision for the same reason.

Now you have some good faith themed writing prompts for your next creation. Try putting them to work and see what you come up with. Whatever the use, I pray its helpful. Remember, as a storyteller, it is important to exercise your God-given storytelling abilities with his word. I hope you enjoy!
