When Your Writing Feels Like Warfare (and Why That’s Okay)

There were nights when I sat in front of the laptop, and every keystroke felt like a battle. At first, I thought it was just writer’s block—maybe I was distracted, unmotivated, or afraid. But eventually, I realized something deeper: sometimes the resistance isn’t laziness; sometimes it’s spiritual warfare.

Writing Resistance or Spiritual Warfare?

When you write words that heal, challenge, or expose lies, don’t expect the process to be easy. Creative resistance often shows up right when the words matter most. The enemy doesn’t care about empty sentences, but expect pushback against words that carry truth, healing, and spiritual weight.

That realization changed everything for me. Instead of mislabeling my struggle as ordinary procrastination, I started to see it as confirmation.  Instead of running from the resistance, I started to recognize that this must matter if it’s this hard.  If the resistance rises every time I write, maybe it’s not just writing—it’s warfare.

 Why Writing That Matters Feels Like a Battle

The world says, “lean in to it,” and I’ve found that’s true. Because while pushback is real, breakthrough is too. Every time I press through, I discover that the very act of writing becomes a weapon.

🔥 Don’t mislabel your battles. If writing feels like warfare, it may be the clearest sign that your words are meant to set someone free.
