Your Question:
can i still find purpose in life after losing my career?
Answer:
Losing a career can be a significant setback, but it doesn't have to mean losing purpose in life. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with depression and feelings of purposelessness after losing their job. But the truth is, our purpose in life is not defined by our career or what we do. It's defined by who we are in Christ and what He has called us to do. When I was 25, I felt like I had lost my purpose in life because I wasn't doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing. But as I reflected on my life, I realized that my purpose was not in what I was doing, but in who I was becoming. I was becoming a follower of Jesus, and that was my true purpose. I encourage people to look to Jesus and to focus on what He has called them to do, rather than what they think they should be doing. As a Christian, I believe that our purpose in life is to serve the Lord and to make Him known. When we lose our job, it may be an opportunity for us to re-evaluate our priorities and to focus on what's truly important. We can continue to serve the Lord and to make Him known, even if we're not doing what we used to do. In fact, it may be a chance for us to discover new ways to serve Him and to make a difference in the world. As the Bible says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)
