Your Question:

What if I lose my sense of purpose?

Answer:

Losing one's sense of purpose can be a challenging and unsettling experience. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of aimlessness and uncertainty. But I believe that our purpose is not something that we discover, but rather something that we're called to. When I was struggling with depression, I found that my sense of purpose was tied to trying to rid myself of those feelings. But as I learned to focus on God's purpose for my life, I began to see that my purpose was not just about overcoming depression, but about living a life that glorifies Him.

For me, finding purpose has been a journey of growing in my relationship with God. As I've come to know Him better, I've come to understand that my purpose is not just about achieving certain goals or outcomes, but about living in a way that honors Him. It's about being faithful and obedient, even when I don't feel like it. And it's about trusting in His power and provision, even when I'm not sure what the future holds. When I focus on Jesus and His purpose for my life, I find that I'm able to live with a sense of direction and meaning, even in the midst of uncertainty.

As I've walked with God, I've come to realize that our purpose is not just about what we do, but about who we are. We are created to glorify God, and that's our ultimate purpose. When we're living in a way that honors Him, we're not just achieving some external goal, we're becoming the people He created us to be. And that's a purpose worth living for. So, if you're struggling with a sense of purpose, I encourage you to look to God and ask Him to reveal His purpose for your life. And then, focus on living in a way that honors Him, even if it's not always easy.
