Your Question:
Why do I feel like I'm losing my sense of purpose in this suffering?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your question. You're feeling lost and uncertain about your purpose in life. I've walked alongside many people who've struggled with depression, and I want you to know that you're not alone. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand how depression can make us feel like we're losing our sense of direction. But here's the thing: our purpose is not just about getting rid of depression. It's about living a life that's aligned with God's will. And that's a journey, not a destination. It's about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't understand what's happening. I've learned that when I focus on Jesus and His purposes, I begin to see my life in a new light. It's not about me trying to find my purpose; it's about me surrendering to God's plan for my life. I want to encourage you to take a step back and reflect on your life. What are the things that bring you joy and fulfillment? What are the things that you're passionate about? Those are clues to your purpose. And don't be afraid to seek help and guidance from others. As someone who's struggled with depression, you have a unique perspective and a credibility that can be a source of hope to others. Remember, your purpose is not just about you; it's about being an ambassador of hope to those around you.
