Guarding Your Heart

Guard Your Heart to Protect Your Creativity and Purpose

I sat at my desk, staring at a blank page, stuck. The blinking cursor taunted me, mocking my lack of progress. My mind raced for inspiration, but the flow of ideas was locked behind a door I couldn’t open, making me question my ability, my creativity—even my purpose. Then, after a whispered prayer, it hit me: the issue wasn’t my mind—it was my heart. Somewhere along the way, stress, fear, and doubt had crept in, disconnecting me from my creativity.

The heart, after all, is the wellspring of creativity. When aligned with God, our hearts reflect His nature as Creator, sparking inspiration, igniting passion, and nurturing purpose. This divine connection empowers us to rebuild, restore, and reimagine—even in the most challenging seasons.

Guarding your heart is not passive; it requires intentional choices and daily practices that align your inner life with God’s truth.

But in challenging seasons—when uncertainty looms or pain clouds our vision—our creativity suffers. Pain, grief, and fear can block inspiration, leaving us drained. In these moments, protecting the heart isn’t just important—it’s vital.

Creativity isn’t merely a skill; it’s an intimate expression of who we are. True creativity is rooted in faith and flows from a heart filled with God’s love—not fear or despair. Through this alignment, we process pain, express hope, and connect with God’s restorative work in our lives and the world.
