Your Question:
What if I lose my sense of purpose?
Answer:
Losing one's sense of purpose can be a challenging and disorienting experience. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of purposelessness, and I've come to realize that it's often a sign that we've been trying to find our purpose in the wrong places. We might think that our purpose is to be rid of depression, or to achieve some specific goal, but these things are merely symptoms of a deeper issue. The truth is, our purpose is not found in external things, but in our relationship with God. When I'm struggling to find my purpose, I try to focus on Jesus and what He has called me to do. I ask myself, "What is God's purpose for my life?" And I seek to align my actions and decisions with that purpose. It's not always easy, and it requires faith and trust in God's goodness and sovereignty. But as I continue to seek Him and follow His lead, I find that my sense of purpose grows and becomes more clear. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that my purpose is not just about achieving some specific goal, but about glorifying God in all that I do. Whether it's pastoring my church, spending time with my family, or simply living out my daily life, my purpose is to bring glory to God. And when I focus on that, I find that my sense of purpose becomes more solid and more meaningful. It's not about me or my achievements, but about Him and His glory.
