Your Question:
can i still have a sense of purpose when my plans are shattered?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to the struggles you're facing. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through difficult times, and I've been there myself. When my plans are shattered, I often find myself asking, "What's the point of it all?" But I've come to realize that God's purpose for me is not necessarily about achieving a specific goal, but about depending on Him and His power in the midst of turmoil. As I reflect on my own purpose, I'm reminded that God wants me to focus on Jesus and live by faith. When I'm unsure about my purpose, I ask myself, "Will this activity please God?" and "Does this path lead me toward my life purpose or dream?" If I'm not getting clear answers, I slow down and pray more about the plan. I've found that when I'm focused on Jesus, my tasks take on a new meaning, and I'm able to live by faith. In my experience, it's not about achieving a specific goal, but about living a life that's pleasing to God. As I've learned to depend on Him, I've found a sense of purpose that's not shaken by circumstances. It's not about what I want to achieve, but about who I am in Christ. And that's a purpose that's worth striving for, no matter what challenges come my way.
