Your Question:
Why do I feel like I'm losing my sense of purpose in this suffering?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling like you're losing your sense of purpose in the midst of suffering. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with depression and feel like they've lost their way. But I want to encourage you that your purpose is not just about getting rid of depression, although that's certainly a worthwhile goal. Your purpose is something deeper and more meaningful than that. When I'm struggling, I try to remember that my purpose is not just about me, but about serving God and others. As a follower of Christ, I believe that my purpose is to be an ambassador of hope to hopeless people. I think about how I can use my experiences and struggles to help others who are going through similar things. It's not always easy, and it's not always natural to love and serve others when we're feeling empty and broken. But that's exactly what God calls us to do. I want to encourage you to look to God and trust Him with your suffering. It's easy to get caught up in trying to figure out why things are happening and how to fix them, but ultimately, God's ways are not our ways. He sees the big picture, and He's working everything out for our good, even when it doesn't feel like it. So, I want to encourage you to focus on Jesus and His purpose for your life. What is He calling you to do? How can you use your struggles to serve Him and others? I believe that when we focus on Jesus and His purpose, we'll find that our sense of purpose and meaning will begin to return, even in the midst of suffering.
