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.

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, “God 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, “Watch 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

And we pray 🙏🏾

God’s plan for you!

God always has a plan.

Be encouraged—nothing in your life is random or wasted. Even when things don’t make sense, God is still working with purpose. The delays, the detours, and even the disappointments are all part of a greater plan that is unfolding in ways you may not yet understand.

You might not see the full picture right now, but God does. He knows where you’re going, what you need, and how to get you there. Trust Him in every season—especially when it feels unclear. His plans are always better, always higher, and always filled with hope.

“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.

Prayer: Lord, help me trust Your plan even when I don’t understand it. Give me peace in uncertainty and confidence that You are leading me in the right direction. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rest in this truth—God’s plan for you is always good.

God bless you abundantly.

It is good Friday!

There is nothing like it in the Universe! We were adopted into the family of a God. We know what is said! “Like Father, like child.” Who is your Father?

Are we headed Home? We with sorrow rejoice for the occasion; we are freed from sin! (Note: I did not  say “free”!) We each individually have a choice to make.

I choose the RISEN Christ – Jesus, my LORD and Savior!!!

For me, He died! He (The Word of God) bore my lashes, bled, and died on the cross of Cavalry. “It is finished…” Jesus’ last words!

God NEVER changes!!!

I share this in faith! We serve an indescribable God; Who writes ✍️ your story regardless of your past or present! I share this as I am led to

Moses had anxiety.

Hannah was desperate for a child.

David was depressed.

Ruth thought she had no future.

Job lost everything he owned, even his health.

Peter had anger issues.

Paul was alone in prison.

But God turned their trials into victories. He used their messes AND their faith and formed it into a message. They had a testimony by the time it was over and it was a testimony of how they overcame.

Regardless of any past failure or present struggle, God always offers a new beginning. Fresh starts aren’t the exception; they’re the rule. We see them all throughout the Word of God. For example:

  • Far from his full potential, wandering on the back side of the desert, Moses is called to lead a nation. While tending sheep in the “backside of the desert” near Mount Horeb, Moses is called by God through a burning bush to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. This encounter transforms him from a fugitive shepherd into a leader, defying his insecurity and age to take on the mission. 

    Key Aspects of the Call of Moses:
    The Location: Moses was in the wilderness of Midian, having fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian taskmaster.
    The Burning Bush: God appeared in a bush that burned but was not consumed, signaling a supernatural encounter.
    The Mission: Moses was commanded to go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of their affliction.
    His Reluctance: Despite his past desire to help his people, Moses was initially hesitant and questioned his ability, saying he was “slow of speech”. 

    As highlighted in a reflection from, this moment represents a “fresh start” for Moses, demonstrating God’s ability to call someone even when they are far from their perceived potential. For a deeper study, you can review on the meaning of the wilderness in the Bible. Fresh start!
  • A victim of her reputation, known only as the harlot, Rahab is rescued and given a noble name in the lineage of Christ. Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute from Jericho, was rescued due to her faith and protection of Israelite spies, subsequently joining the covenant people and receiving a prominent place in the lineage of Jesus Christ. She married Salmon and became the mother of Boaz, transitioning from a life of shame to a legacy of grace.

    Key details of Rahab’s transformation include:
    Rescue and Faith: By faith, Rahab was not destroyed with the unbelievers in Jericho, having hidden the spies. This act of faith is highlighted in the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11:31.
    Genealogical Honor: Rahab is one of the few women listed in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5). She is described as the great-grandmother (or great-great-grandmother) of King David.
    Symbol of Grace: Her story serves as a testament that God’s grace overrides a sinful past and rescues individuals, incorporating them into His family regardless of their background.
    The Scarlet Cord: Rahab was told to hang a scarlet cord from her window, which served as a sign to the Israelites to spare her home during the fall of the city. 

    For further reflection on her life, see this “3 Lessons from Rahab” article from Lisa Appelo and a Facebook post about her transformation.  Fresh start!
  • Stuck in a dead-end job, tending sheep, David is anointed the next king of Israel. https://www.franklinunitedchurch.com/2011/07/10/david-the-rise-of-a-king-i-samuel-16-26/ Fresh start!
  • Job, a figure of profound faith in the Bible, lost his wealth, children, reputation, and health—suffering from painful sores—yet refused to curse God. Despite immense despair, he maintained his integrity, worshiping amidst his losses. Ultimately, God restored his health and doubled his former possessions. 

    Key Aspects of Job’s Loss and Endurance:
    Total Loss: Job lost his seven sons and three daughters, thousands of livestock, and his servants in a single day.
    Health and Social Standing: He was afflicted with agonizing sores from head to foot, leading to physical suffering and social isolation.
    Isolation and Misunderstanding: His wife urged him to “curse God and die,” and his friends questioned his righteousness, accusing him of hidden sins.
    Faithfulness in Suffering: Despite his confusion and pain, Job continued to trust in God’s sovereignty.
    Restoration: Job was eventually restored, receiving twice the wealth he had before and living a long life. 
  • Widowed, alone, and with nowhere to go, Ruth is given a brand-new, better-than-imagined life. The biblical story of Ruth tells of a widowed, impoverished outsider who moves from loss to a blessed life through loyalty and faith. After moving to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law, Naomi, she gleans in the fields, attracting the kindness of Boaz’s Kindness to Ruth – She Reads Truth. Ruth started as a broke, widowed outsider… – Facebook describes her journey to a new life, which leads to marriage with Boaz and redemption
    Key Aspects of Ruth’s Transformation:
    Loyalty & Risk: Despite her loss, Ruth refuses to abandon her mother-in-law, choosing a new, uncertain life, Chea Meit has lived a hard life in Cambodia… – Instagram.
    Divine Provision: Ruth’s act of walking into Boaz’s field to work is viewed as divine guidance, leading to a “better-than-imagined” future.
    Redemption Story: Boaz serves as a kinsman-redeemer, which is explored in this Modern story of loss and faith – Facebook post, restoring both Ruth and Naomi from poverty to prosperity, Revive Our Hearts – Facebook.
    Legacy: As described in this – YouTube post, the marriage leads to a lasting legacy, as she becomes an ancestor of king David and Jesus. 

    Ruth’s story is often cited as a testament to faith and redemption, showing how a “broken” life can become “blessed” through endurance and hope.  Fresh start!

The circumstances change, and the stories vary, but the grace of God never wavers. God always offers a new chance. A new opportunity. A new life.

You might be going through a trial right now, but keep your faith because God isn’t finished writing your testimony. You will overcome. 🤍

We through Christ are victors…

Good Friday, we remember the agony Christ bore for us. The 🔑 to Heaven/eternity.

Good Friday is more than a day — it is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. What looked like suffering and loss became the greatest act of love the world has ever known. Through His pain, we received forgiveness. Through His death, we received life. Through His sacrifice, we received grace and salvation.

It is called “Good” because what Jesus did changed everything forever. He took our place so we could be restored to God. This message reminds us that no matter how broken we feel, God’s love is greater. The cross is proof that we are deeply loved. Let this truth strengthen your faith and remind you — His sacrifice was for you.

Bible Verse: “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross. Help me never forget Your love and grace in my life. Amen.

As we remember…

Good Friday reminds us of the greatest act of love the world has ever known. It is the day Jesus willingly gave His life on the old rugged cross, carrying the weight of our sins and paying a debt we could never repay. What looked like defeat became our victory. What seemed like sorrow became our salvation. Because of His sacrifice, we are redeemed, forgiven, and made new. No matter what you are facing today, remember that the cross is proof that God’s love for you is unshakable and unconditional. Let this day encourage your heart to trust Him more deeply, knowing that He turned pain into purpose and darkness into hope.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for the cross and Your incredible sacrifice. Help me to live in the freedom You purchased for me and to share Your love with others. Amen.

God bless you abundantly.

The Word of God goes forth…

The doors you couldn’t open… God is opening them for you.

Just because something didn’t work out before doesn’t mean it was the end. Sometimes God closes doors to protect you, redirect you, or prepare you. And when He opens a door, no one can shut it. What you struggled to force will begin to flow in His timing.

Trust that God is already working behind the scenes. The opportunities, the connections, the breakthroughs—they are being aligned even now. You don’t have to strive or stress. What is meant for you will come, and it will come with His peace.

“I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” Revelation 3:8.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the doors You are opening in my life. Help me trust Your timing and walk through every opportunity You place before me with faith and confidence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Stay ready—God is about to open doors you never expected.

God bless you abundantly.

Based on Isaiah 55:11, the Word of God goes forth as an active, living force that does not return empty or void. It is designed to accomplish God’s purposes, succeed in its mission, and prosper where it is sent, often likened to rain that waters the earth, bringing life and fulfilling divine decrees. 

Key Aspects of the Word Going Forth:

  • Accomplishing Purpose: The Word is efficacious, meaning it brings about what God intends, whether that involves creating, redeeming, or judging.
  • Active and Powerful: It is described as “living and active,” capable of dividing soul and spirit, and piercing the thoughts of the heart.
  • Irrevocable Promise: The phrase “will not return to me empty” indicates that God’s spoken word always achieves its goal, even if it is not immediately visible to humans.
  • Healing and Transformation: The Word acts as a catalyst for change, rescuing and healing. 

In essence, this phrase underscores the conviction that God’s promises and commands are guaranteed to come to pass, carrying authority and power to transform, prosper, and fulfill His will. 

And today is…The gift of the life of the Word of God…

Good Friday commemorates the day Jesus Christ was arrested, tried, sentenced to death, and crucified on the cross, dying to pay for humanity’s sins. He endured torture, including a crown of thorns and beating, before being crucified between two criminals, uttering seven final statements, and dying before sunset, with his death seen as a ultimate act of love and redemption. 

Key Events of Good Friday:

  • The Trial: Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate, who yielded to public pressure and ordered his crucifixion.
  • The Suffering: Jesus was scourged, mocked, and forced to carry his own cross to Golgotha.
  • The Crucifixion: Jesus was crucified at noon and died three hours later, with a significant earthquake and the tearing of the Temple veil reported.
  • Final Words: Among his final words, Jesus told the thief, “Today you will be with me in paradise,” and proclaimed, “It is finished”.
  • Burial: Following his death, Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. 

Significance:

  • Sacrifice for Sin: Jesus’s death is understood by Christians as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of humanity.
  • Meaning of “Good”: Despite being a day of sorrowful events, it is called “Good” because it is believed to be the necessary sacrifice that enabled forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
  • Atonement: The day represents the ultimate act of love and mercy, marking the moment when Jesus fulfilled God’s plan of redemption. 

The day is recognized with deep solemnity, with many Christians attending services, engaging in fasting, and observing a time of deep reflection and prayer.
