Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that we are made in the image of God and are created to create. As humans, we have a purpose and a calling that is unique to us. When we lose our sense of self and our job, it can be a difficult and confusing experience. However, it can also be an opportunity for growth and transformation.

One possible reason for losing our sense of self and our job is that we were not living in alignment with our created purpose and calling. Perhaps we were trying to fit into a job or role that was not a good fit for our gifts and abilities. Or maybe we were trying to create something in our own strength and power, rather than trusting in God's sovereignty and provision. In this sense, losing our job and sense of self can be a wake-up call to re-evaluate our priorities and values, and to seek God's guidance and direction.

Ultimately, losing our sense of self and our job can be a blessing in disguise. As the Bible teaches, we are called to create in a thoughtful and worshipful manner, whether in our work or in other areas of our lives. When we lose our job, it may be an opportunity for us to discover new passions and interests, and to find a new sense of purpose and meaning. By trusting in God's sovereignty and providence, and by seeking His guidance and direction, we can emerge from this experience stronger, wiser, and more whole. As the Bible says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11) In this sense, losing our sense of self and our job can be a chance for us to discover a new and better sense of self, and to find a new and more fulfilling sense of purpose and meaning.
