Your Question:
Why did I have to lose my sense of purpose and identity?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and despair in your words. I've seen it before, in the lives of those I've counseled at our church. It's as if you've lost your sense of purpose and identity, and that's a difficult place to be. I want you to know that you're not alone, and that there is hope. As I reflect on my own journey, I realize that I've struggled with similar feelings of purposelessness. But I've come to understand that my purpose is not just about getting rid of depression or achieving some external goal. It's about living a life that's fully surrendered to God's will. It's about letting go of my own desires and ambitions and instead, seeking to fulfill the purpose that He has for me. I want to encourage you to take a step back and reflect on your own life. Ask yourself, what is it that truly gives you meaning and purpose? What are your passions and desires? Are they aligned with God's will for your life? Remember, your purpose is not just about what you do, but who you are in Christ. You are a child of God, and He has a plan for your life. I pray that you will find the courage to seek Him and discover the purpose that He has for you.
