As an empty nester, you may feel like you've lost your sense of purpose, but this is a perfect opportunity to discover new ways to stay engaged with your faith. Here are some suggestions:

1. Develop a daily personal time with God: This is when you talk to Him and He talks to you friend to friend. As you establish a prayer-relationship with God, you can only look in to see what He does for other people. You're missing out because you have a weak prayer life. When you apply the suggestions of this chapter, you'll move closer to the heart of God, and your faith will automatically become more dynamic.

2. Find ways to serve God and others: For some, it will mean doing the next thing. Put one step in front of the other. It will look like serving God and others by greeting someone with a smile, or by serving at a local food bank. As you serve, you'll begin to see God's purpose for your life and your faith will grow.

3. Use your gifts, talents, and abilities to serve others: Look at your gifts, talents, and abilities and find ways to use them to serve others. This will help you to see God's purpose for your life and your faith will grow.

4. Get involved in your church or community: Get involved in your church or community and find ways to serve others. This will help you to see God's purpose for your life and your faith will grow.

5. Read and study God's Word: Make a commitment to read and study God's Word. This will help you to know God better and obey Him more fully. It will also help you to see God's purpose for your life and your faith will grow.

6. Share your faith with others: As you grow in your faith, you'll want to share it with others. This can be done by sharing your testimony with others, or by serving others in a way that shows them God's love.

7. Seek guidance from God: Trust God for guidance in small increments; and if you can't see what lies dimly in the distance, do what lies clearly at hand. Moment by moment, God will guide you and give you the strength to do what He has called you to do.

8. Be patient and persistent: Building a family of deep faith takes enormous energy, concentration, and self-denial. Don't give up, even when you hit a wall or feel discouraged. Keep seeking God and trusting Him, and He will give you the strength to overcome any obstacle.

9. Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you in your faith. This will help you to stay motivated and inspired to continue growing in your faith.

10. Celebrate your successes: Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. This will help you to stay motivated and inspired to continue growing in your faith.

In conclusion, as an empty nester, you have a unique opportunity to discover new ways to stay engaged with your faith. By developing a daily personal time with God, finding ways to serve God and others, using your gifts, talents, and abilities to serve others, getting involved in your church or community, reading and studying God's Word, sharing your faith with others, seeking guidance from God, being patient and persistent, surrounding yourself with people who support and encourage you, and celebrating your successes, you'll be able to grow in your faith and discover God's purpose for your life.
