Why am I? What is my purpose?

Why am I here? What is life all about? What is the meaning of life? How we answer these big-picture questions is important so we can live with hope and a sense of purpose in times of uncertainty, pain, and frustration.

What is the meaning of life according to the Bible? According to the Bible, knowing God is the meaning of life because He is the “author of life” (John 17:3). The meaning of life is not based on things we see in the world “for life is more than food, and the body more than clothing” (Luke 12:23).

What does it mean to know God? Why can’t we base the meaning of life on relationships, career, or personal happiness? Understanding the answer to these questions in the Bible gives a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives.

What is the meaning to life? Why am I? What is my reason/purpose? A routine question that strikes us at moments of reflection/trial. What is “Life”?

God, as The Author of life, brings meaning to life. Everything God created was meant to show what God is like. God created a world with a purpose, by His design. The world we live in and the life of every person has a purpose and is not just the product of chance, random events, and biological selection.

What Is the Meaning of Life According to the Bible?

1

Prayer helps you develop a relationship with God

Just like your parents here on earth, your Heavenly Father wants to hear from you and talk to you. When you pray, He listens. Then He answers your prayers in the form of thoughts, spiritual feelings, scripture, or even the actions of other people.

2

Prayer helps you gain an understanding of God’s loving nature

The scriptures teach, â€œGod is love” (1 John 4:8). You can feel that love as you speak daily with Him through prayer, seeking His guidance in your life.

3

Prayer provides answers

Praying and listening to the answers God gives you can help you better understand your purpose in life. God will help you understand why you are here and what you can do to return to live with Him after this life.

4

Prayer helps you find direction in your life

When you privately pray to God, you can work through serious decisions in your life. God always listens and often provides the specific answers and guidance we seek. Even when He chooses not to answer immediately or in the way we might have hoped, prayer itself is a way to find peace.

5

Prayer gives you strength to avoid temptation

Jesus counseled His disciples, â€œWatch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation” (Matthew 26:41). Through prayer, we can overcome temptations to sin. Pray for God’s help to keep you from making wrong choices. This will give you the strength to do what is right.

6

Prayer aligns your will with God’s will

The purpose of prayer is not necessarily to tell God how you want Him to do things. Rather, it’s to better understand Him and His ways, bringing yourself into alignment with His will. As C.S. Lewis is often attributed as saying, prayer “doesn’t change God. It changes me.”

7

Prayer and regular fasting can help you accept God’s will

Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before He began His ministry on the earth. As He did this, He communed with His Father in Heaven in prayer. Likewise, if you pray and fast, you can feel closer to God and better understand the things He wants you to do.

 

8

Prayer can work miracles

Throughout the scriptures, we see many examples of the Lord working miracles as an answer to prayer. In Old Testament times, the prophet Daniel was thrown into a lions’ den because he refused to stop praying. When he prayed to God in the lions’ den, angels appeared and closed the mouths of the lions. Through daily prayer, you can also experience personal miracles such as healing, peace, and forgiveness for sins.

9

Prayer invites the Holy Spirit into your life

As you pray daily, you invite the Holy Spirit to be with you and to comfort and direct you. The Holy Spirit can give you answers, help you feel God’s love, and bring feelings of peace and joy into your heart.

10

Prayer helps you become more like Jesus

Jesus set the perfect example of prayer. If you try to follow His example through prayer, you will become more like Him and develop a better relationship with Him and Heavenly Father.

Be blessed. Because we ARE! Amen

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
Philippians 4:13-15

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Based on emerging 2026 trends and biblical principles, the biggest challenge you will likely face in the next six months is maintaining an authentic, daily walk with Christ amidst intense cultural polarization, technological distractions, and the temptation to conform to a secularized world.

While external pressures are increasing, the core challenge is often internal—resisting the “drift” toward spiritual apathy in the grind of daily life.

Here are the specific, major challenges expected to peak in the next six months:

  • Discernment in a “Post-Truth” World: With the rise of AI-generated content (deepfakes) and “fake news,” discerning truth from deception is becoming difficult. Christians are being challenged to navigate a “splinternet” of fragmented information while clinging to biblical absolutes.
  • Cultural Compromise and Fear: The temptation to conform to societal pressures regarding sexuality, politics, and morality is intense. As Western culture becomes increasingly hostile, there is a risk of either compromising beliefs or retreating into fearful isolation rather than being “salt and light”.
  • The “Grind” of Daily Discipleship: The hardest part of the Christian life is its daily nature. In the next six months, you may face the temptation to let spiritual disciplines (Bible study, prayer, church attendance) slide, replacing them with digital distraction, “consumer” Christianity, or career focus.
  • Internal Moral and Spiritual Warfare: Beyond external pressures, you will face the internal challenge of overcoming personal sin and avoiding a “hardened heart”. The enemy often uses subtle, daily attacks to discourage and distract you from your passion for Jesus.
  • Navigating Political/Social Polarization: As 2026 approaches, political and ideological divisions are seeping into the church. The challenge is to remain unified in Christ while facing intense pressure to take sides on “culture war” issues.

How to Overcome These Challenges in the Next 6 Months:

  • Prioritize Daily Devotion: Protect 15–30 minutes daily for Scripture and prayer.
  • Seek Community over Isolation: Actively engage in a local, Bible-believing community to avoid falling away.
  • Cultivate Spiritual Maturity: Move beyond basic belief to “solid food” by studying theology and understanding your faith.
  • Focus on Transformation: Approach Scripture asking “How must I change?” rather than just seeking information.
