Your Question:
Can I still find purpose in life when I'm struggling to make ends meet?
Answer:
I can relate to the struggle of finding purpose in life, especially when it feels like making ends meet is a constant challenge. As a pastor of a local evangelical church, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. My advice would be to look beyond the surface level and focus on what's truly important. In my own life, I've found that my purpose is not just about achieving a certain goal, but about serving the Lord and living out my faith. When I'm struggling to make ends meet, I remind myself that God's purpose for me is to depend on Him and His power, not just my own abilities. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of what's truly important. But by focusing on Jesus and His purpose for my life, I'm able to stay calm, faithful, and unconfused, even in the midst of turmoil. As the Bible says, "What is my vision of God's purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose is for me to depend on Him and on His power now." I've learned that it's not about arriving at a particular goal, but about the process of living out my faith and serving the Lord. By doing so, I'm able to find meaning and purpose in even the most mundane tasks. As I've told my congregation, "Make today the best. You may never have another opportunity to give your best for God, so make today count!" By focusing on what truly matters, I've found that even in the midst of struggle, I can find purpose and meaning in life.
