How to Start a Scripture Writing Habit (Even as a Busy Homemaker)
Learn how to start a Scripture writing habit that fits your life. Simple, peaceful, and deeply rooted in God’s Word—just one verse at a time.
There’s something so powerful about writing God’s Word by hand.
Not typing. Not scrolling. But sitting down, pen in hand, and letting His words settle deep into your spirit.
I didn’t always make time for Scripture writing—but once I did, I realized it’s not about filling a notebook. It’s about filling my heart. And as a homemaker, that daily rhythm has become a grounding, quiet place in my day. Even if it’s just five minutes.
If you’ve been wanting to start a Scripture writing habit but weren’t sure how to make it stick, this post is for you.
Why Scripture Writing?
In a world that’s loud, fast, and constantly moving, writing Scripture slows you down.
It helps you meditate—not just read quickly and forget. It anchors your thoughts, focuses your prayers, and reminds you what’s true when your day feels scattered.
Scripture writing isn’t another to-do. It’s a pause. A breath. A place to dwell with the Lord in the middle of everyday life.
How to Start a Scripture Writing Habit
1. Keep It Simple
Start small—just one verse a day is enough.
You don’t need a fancy notebook or special pens. You don’t even need a quiet house (though we can dream, can’t we?). Just your Bible, a journal, and a few intentional minutes.
I keep mine by my kitchen table and often write while the bread is rising or during my morning tea.
2. Choose a Plan That Fits Your Life
Not every plan is realistic for every season. That’s why I created something gentle and practical: a Scripture Writing Plan just for homemakers.
This plan includes verses that speak directly to the heart of homemaking—faithfulness, diligence, peace, and God’s purpose in your work.
I also have several monthly scripture writing plans you can check out here: Scripture Writing Plans

“You don’t have to write a lot to receive a lot.”
3. Make It a Rhythm, Not a Rule
This isn’t about perfection. You might miss a day. Or three. That’s okay.
Pick it up again, right where you left off. Let it become a rhythm, not a rigid schedule. Over time, it becomes something you crave instead of something you have to remember.
4. Pray As You Write
As you write each verse, turn it into a prayer.
Ask the Lord to make those words real in your heart. To shape your thoughts, guide your actions, and give you strength for the day ahead.
Closing Thoughts:
You don’t need a Bible degree or hours of quiet to meet with God.
You just need a willing heart—and maybe a little pen and paper.
Whether you’re folding laundry, kneading bread, or teaching little hearts, His Word is for you. Start small. Be faithful. Let it sink deep.
And if you’re looking for a place to begin, I hope my homemaker’s Scripture writing plan is a sweet encouragement for your soul.
