divine inspiration
God-given creative spark
Divine inspiration is the belief that creative works, prophecies, or sacred texts originate from a god or supernatural source rather than purely human imagination.
Writers, artists, and prophets have claimed divine inspiration as the source of their output: The Bible is considered divinely inspired by believers.
The phrase also describes sudden creative insight that feels mysteriously given rather than deliberately produced: The melody came to her like divine inspiration.
