Inspiring Ideas to Overcome the Blank Page
by Brenda McGraw @BrendaMMcGraw
The achievements of the tomorrowsin our life are many times paralyzed by a lack of inspiration that prevents us from effectively moving forward.
We get stuck.
Many times we want to experience the finality of what we are moving towards without taking the steps to get there.
We must somehow get past the silence in our mind that is paralyzing us.
For example, you’ve been asked to write a guest post and all of a sudden you have a blank pagestaring you in the face and no idea where to begin.
Some call it “writer’s block.”
God wants to give you the desires of your heart and He has great methods and designs to get you there.
He may lay before you an idea, a thought, a dream or vision and then He waits to see if you are willing to listen.
God doesn’t want you to fail; He wants you to succeed.
A Few Inspiring Ideas to Overcome the Blank Page:Read: The Bible, a good book, a blog, an article or even Facebook or Twitter.Remember: To pray, and remember stories that have happened recently.Reveal: Your circumstances to others and how you overcame them.Radio: Turn on music and listen to its words and messages.Resurrect: Look for inspiration in your journal or old article.Ride: Take a car ride and look at the beautiful creation our God has created.Research: Look for statistics and share them.Relate: Your experiences of raising children, caregiving parents or others.Quitting is not an option. Whether we are writing an article or a post, or whether it is something much bigger and God is calling us to take the next step in our calling, sometimes we just have to overcome the paralyzing doubts and trust that we are making a difference with our words and messages. We can do it. His ways are higher than our ways. Trust in the One who gives us the following words:
“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13
We can do all things though Christ who strengthens us and, may I add, calls us to write and tell our story and HIS.
