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

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Philippians 4:13-15

Hallelujah!!! ALL glory be to God ALMIGHTY!!! We are all Created for a reason/purpose.

  • Scriptural Basis: The phrase echoes Jude 1:25 (“To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever”) and Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. And we pray: Father, Your inestimable glory surrounds us, Hallelujah. The order of Your Creation fills me with awe and gratitude; Hallelujah, ALL glory is Yours, Amen.  And we pray: You, Heavenly Father have Created ALL things, to You be endless glory for eternity, Amen. I was Created for a purpose, Hallelujah!!! Use me, direct me, bless me to fulfill my purpose; I pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
  • Worship and Liturgy: It is central to Christian prayers, such as the Gloria in excelsis Deo (“Glory to God in the highest”), which is a hymn of praise and adoration, and the Glory Be (Doxology).
  • Hymnody: The phrase is featured in traditional hymns like “All Glory Be to God on High,” celebrating God’s grace and peace on earth.
  • Expression of Gratitude: It is commonly used to thank God for protection, life, and blessings. 

This declaration highlights that God is worthy of praise at all times, regardless of circumstances. 

The Bible teaches that every person is intentionally created by God for specific purposes, rather than being an accident. Key divine purposes include glorifying God (Isaiah 43:7), doing good works prepared in advance (Ephesians 2:10), being loved by God, and fulfilling unique, individual plans (Psalm 139:13–16).

Key Biblical Principles Regarding Purpose
Created for God’s Glory: Isaiah 43:7 states that God creates people for His glory. This means life is designed to reflect Him and bring Him honor, not just to become glorious ourselves.

Created for Good Works:

Ephesians 2:10 describes humans as God’s “workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand”.

Created for Relationship: Humans were created to know, love, and enjoy God.

You Are Not an Accident: Regardless of circumstances, every person is intentionally designed (Psalm 139:13–16).

Called for a Purpose: Romans 8:28 indicates that God works in all things for the good of those who are called according to His purpose.

Common Misconceptions

“Everything Happens for a Reason”: While this phrase is not directly in the Bible, it is similar to the biblical concept that God works in all situations—good and bad—to fulfill His ultimate, sovereign, and good, Bible Hub notes.

Life is About You: According to YouTube, life is not about using God for our purposes, but rather God using us for His purpose, YouTube suggests.

How to Find Your Purpose
Finding your purpose is rooted in a relationship with the Creator. By knowing God, loving Him, and understanding His Word, individuals can better understand their unique, designed purpose.

Judging…

Only God can judge me” is often used to mean “Don’t challenge my sin,” but that’s not what Scripture teaches. While it’s true that God is the ultimate Judge, Jesus never commanded us to abandon discernment. In fact, He told us to “judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24).

His warning against judging in Matthew 7 addresses hypocrisy, not accountability. We are to examine ourselves first, then help others rightly. As believers, we are called to discern truth from error and uphold righteousness, always with humility, love, and a desire for restoration rather than condemnation.

God is ALWAYS with us as believers!

We are Led by The Spirit, Amen.

Amen!🙏✝️🛐🕊️ – Divine Insight

“Lord, please remove all the idols I have unintentionally placed on the throne of my heart.”

​An idol isn’t just a golden statue.
An idol is anything you love more than God,
anything you fear more than God,
or anything you trust more than God.

​Sometimes our idol is our career.
Sometimes it is our children.
Sometimes it is our pain.
We center our entire lives around these things until they block our view of Heaven.

​This prayer is dangerous because God will answer it.
He will start removing the things you are gripping too tightly.
He will shake your false security.

​But He does it for a beautiful reason.
He wants you to realize that if you lose it all but still have Him,
you haven’t lost a thing.

​You have simply traded the temporary for the Eternal.

📖​Psalm 73:25-26
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

What were your parents doing at your age?

Based on personal accounts from that generation, parents at age 54 were often in very different situations than many are today, generally characterized by:

  • Established Career or Retirement: Depending on their industry, many were either in the prime of their career, considering early retirement, or, in earlier generations, retiring fully.
  • Empty Nesting: Many parents at this age had already sent all their children off to start their own lives, sometimes leading to a loss of direction or a need to redefine their purpose.
  • Grandparent Duties: For those who had children young (e.g., in their early 20s), by age 54 they were already actively involved in helping raise grandchildren.
  • Health and Lifestyle: Some 54-year-olds in previous generations experienced significant health challenges, such as heart attacks or cancer, while others were enjoying an active lifestyle, gardening, or traveling.

The Bible presents your early 50s not as a decline into obsolescence, but as a pivotal season of stabilityspiritual maturity, and refined purpose. While secular culture often views this age through the lens of a “crisis,” Scripture frames it as an “age of opportunity” where years of experience coalesce into wisdom for the benefit of the community. 

Here is what the Word of God teaches about this specific season of life:

1. A Season of Renewed Inward Strength 

Scripture acknowledges physical aging but promises daily spiritual renewal. For example, 2 Corinthians 4:16 states that “Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day”. Isaiah 40:31 also speaks of those who wait on the Lord renewing their strength. 

2. Transition from Success to Significance

The early 50s are seen as a time to align personal plans with God’s will. The Bible encourages a focus on righteousness and legacy over personal gain. Psalm 92:14 states that the righteous will “still bear fruit in old age”, and Titus 2:2-3 calls older individuals to be examples and mentors. 

3. The Responsibility of Wisdom

In the Bible, age often correlates with wisdom and understanding. Job 12:12 asks, “Is not wisdom found among the aged?”. Psalm 90:12 advises numbering our days to gain wisdom, emphasizing intentional living. 

4. God’s Unfailing Sustenance

The Bible offers assurance of God’s continued support throughout life. Isaiah 46:4 declares, “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you”. Philippians 1:6 expresses confidence that God will complete the work he began. 

The summary of Biblical Perspectives on Middle Age

Theme: Biblical Instruction

Maturity

Grow from youthful immaturity to a deeper, Godly understanding.

Duty

Share your life experience to teach the next generation about God (Psalm 71:18).

Outlook

Focus on the hope of future glory rather than past regrets.

9 Rejuvenating Bible Verses About Age

In our youthful culture, we fear and avoid aging. We fight wrinkles, color gray hair, and focus every effort on staying young. But what does the Bible say about aging? Here are nine Bible verses about age.Genesis 25:8The first time we see a reference to aging in the Bible is in Genesis, with the father of Israel.“Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.” (Genesis 25:8, NIV)The previous verse tells us Abraham was 175 when he died. This tells us old age is good, and that when people die and their family mourns them, that is the appropriate response.



Entertainment often portrays the elderly as feeble or foolish, but that isn’t how the Bible says we should view them.“Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly, and revere your God. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:32, NIV)Teach children when they are young to treat the elderly with respect. Even body language should be respectful. Young children who may not understand the heart can still open doors and honor older family members with their actions. The Bible equates respecting elders with reverence for God.

One of the benefits of old age is the lifetime of knowledge and experience that comes with it.“Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?” (Job 12:12, NIV)Seek counsel from those who possess wisdom and have the worldly knowledge that comes from a lifetime of experience.


One reason people fear aging is that they feel they will outlive their usefulness.“They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.” (Psalm 92:14, NIV)Aging isn’t fading away. Many spend their retirement years serving others, enjoying their families, and making a difference in ways they couldn’t when they were younger.Proverbs 23:22We should honor our parents, not just when we are children, but as they age.

“Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.” (Proverbs 23:22, NIV)As some people reach adulthood, they begin to feel they know more than their parents. Even when you disagree with your mother and father, always treat them with respect.

Each day is precious, no matter how many of them God grants us.“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12, NIV) Instead of fighting against the number of years that have gone buy, approach each day as an opportunity to bring God glory.

Do you want to live longer? Obey God.“And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” (1 Kings 3:14, NIV)

The Bible links following the principles in the Bible with longevity.

We should remember previous generations.“Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.” (Deuteronomy 32:7, NIV)

Honor scripture by sitting down with an elderly family member and soaking up their knowledge. Ask about their family members and consider recording their stories for future generations.

God’s faithfulness endures no matter what our age.“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who sustains you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:4, NIV)Aging isn’t something we have to fear. We can always count on God to protect us. Every day spent in relationship with Him is precious, and God promises to be with us from beginning to end. 

We should focus on the Word as we age!  Seeking on living a life that honors God every day.

Our Center, our Source, Amen.

Truly your soul can find rest in God because He alone is your salvation and security. When life feels unstable and people disappoint you, God remains your rock and fortress. Others may misunderstand you, speak falsely, or try to pull you down, but their words cannot shake what God is holding. He is your safe place when pressure rises and your steady ground when emotions feel like a storm. Resting in God does not mean problems disappear; it means your heart learns to trust Him above the noise around you. His presence brings calm where fear once lived and confidence where doubt tried to grow.

When your hope is in God, it becomes unbreakable. You do not have to defend yourself against every voice or worry about every opinion. God sees truth clearly and guards those who trust Him. Let your soul be quiet before Him and remember where your help comes from.

“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” Psalm 62:1–2.

God bless you abundantly.

The LORD will fight for you. You need only to be still and remain in praise.

Some battles are too heavy to fight on your own — and you were never meant to. When you surrender the fight to God, you exchange fear for faith and stress for peace. God sees what you cannot and moves in ways you never could. Your job is to trust; His job is to fight. Let go and place it in His hands today.

When the battle feels overwhelming, remember you are not fighting alone. God goes before you, stands with you, and works on your behalf. What feels impossible to you is fully under His control. Surrender the struggle, trust His power, and rest in His faithfulness. The battle belongs to the Lord, and His victory is always greater than your fear. Stay calm, keep praying, and watch God move in ways you never expected. Victory is closer than you think.

Bible Verse: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14

Exodus 14:14 is a well-known Bible verse, often rendered as “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still” (NIV) or “…you have only to keep silent” (ESV). It is a message of comfort and trust, spoken by Moses to the Israelites, urging them to remain calm and rely on divine intervention rather than panic, as they faced the Red Sea with the Egyptian army closing in. 

Key Themes and Interpretations:

  • Divine Intervention: God acts as the primary defender in personal battles,, fighting on behalf of his people.
  • Trust and Surrender: The verse encourages letting go of fear, anxiety, and the need to control every outcome, urging people to trust God during challenging times.
  • Stillness as Strength: Being “still” or silent does not mean giving up, but rather waiting on God with confidence, allowing him to work in situations beyond human control.
  • Context: This promise precedes the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, demonstrating that obedience and faith are often rewarded, allowing for victory over seemingly impossible situations. 

This verse is commonly used to remind people that not every fight is theirs to win, and that peace can be found by trusting God with the outcome. 

Declaration: This battle is not mine — it belongs to God.
And victory is in His hands!

For the promise is to you and to your children.

Bible Verse:
“For the promise is to you and to your children.”
Acts 2:39

There is something powerful about hearing children sing about God’s promises. Their joy is pure, their faith is simple, and their worship is sincere. It reminds us that God’s promises are for every generation. When kids lift their voices in church, they declare truth that will stay in their hearts for a lifetime. These moments shape faith, build confidence in God, and plant seeds that grow for years to come.

A special appreciation to all parents who teach, pray, and lead their children in God’s ways. Your faithfulness is raising a generation that knows and loves the Lord.

Prayer:

Lord, bless these children and their families.
Let Your promises be alive in their hearts and homes.
Amen.

Declaration: God’s promises stand forever.
Every generation will sing of His faithfulness!
