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.

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 🙏🏾

Amen, we pray ceaselessly in Jesus’ Name.

Waiting can be one of the hardest seasons in life. Sometimes we pray, hope, and cry out to God, yet the answer seems delayed. But God is never unaware of our struggles. He hears every prayer and sees every tear. The waiting season is not wasted; it is often where God strengthens our faith and prepares us for what is ahead. Just when it feels like nothing is changing, God begins to move in powerful ways. He lifts us out of the difficult places, restores our hope, and places us on a firm foundation again. The same God who heard the cries of David is still listening today. If you are in a season of waiting, do not lose heart. Your breakthrough can come at the moment you least expect it. Stay patient, keep trusting, and hold on to faith. God is faithful to lift you up and establish your steps again.

Bible Verse: “I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.” Psalm 40:1.

Prayer:

Lord, help us trust You in seasons of waiting. Strengthen our faith and lift us from every difficult place, we pray in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

God bless you abundantly.

Hallelujah!!!

Even in seasons when life feels uncertain, we can choose to place our trust in God’s unfailing love. His love never changes and never fails, no matter what circumstances we face. When we remember how faithful God has been in the past, our hearts begin to fill with gratitude and hope. The Lord sees our struggles, hears our prayers, and works in ways we cannot always see. His salvation brings joy to our hearts and reminds us that we are never alone. When we focus on His goodness instead of our worries, our hearts can rejoice even in difficult moments. Let your life be filled with praise and gratitude, because God has been faithful before and He will continue to be faithful in every season ahead.

Bible Verse: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.” Psalm 13:5–6.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for Your unfailing love and goodness in my life. Help my heart trust You in every season and fill my life with praise and gratitude.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God bless you abundantly.

And we pray 🙏🏾

When satan throws everything he can at you what do you do???

You Stand
You Pray
You Praise
Cry if you must, but remember that:

Our God is still victorious. He restores broken hearts. He saves the lost. He heals the sick. He is faithful towards us. His mercies endure forever. He is Love, and He is our TRUE comforter.

Though the enemy may be waging a war against you, your children, your family, do not grow faint in heart because as we know…
God wins the battle EVERY time!!! Key thing that is overlooked! God Created Lucifer!

When facing intense spiritual attacks, you should submit to God, actively resist the devil, and rely on the Word of God for strength. Key actions include prayer, speaking scripture aloud, maintaining faith, and standing firm in your identity in Christ. This keeps you from being outwitted by his strategies. 

Key Strategies for Spiritual Warfare:

  • Submit to God and Resist: The core instruction is to “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
  • Speak the Word of God: Use the Bible as your “sword of the Spirit” by speaking scriptures aloud, similar to how Jesus countered temptation.
  • Put on the Armor of God: Utilize the full armor described in Ephesians 6, including the shield of faith to extinguish “fiery darts”.
  • Renew Your Mind: Refuse to entertain thoughts of fear, doubt, or accusation that do not align with God’s truth.
  • Pray Without Ceasing: Use prayer as a lifeline to call for God’s help and protection against enemy strategies.
  • Stand Your Ground: Remain anchored in God’s promises even when situations seem dire in the natural. 

Practical Actions:

  • Change the channel in your head by refusing to dwell on toxic, fearful thoughts.
  • Keep God’s Word in your mouth—what you speak dictates whether you fall into fear or rise in victory.
  • Take it as an opportunity for joy, trusting in God’s power to see you through the trial. 

God Created Lucifer as a perfect, blameless angel (anointed cherub) in Heaven before he sinned. Lucifer was created good, but became Satan by choosing to rebel through pride. He was not created evil; he misused his free will, transitioning from a “light-bearer” to the adversary. 

Key Biblical Points regarding Lucifer’s Creation:

  • Created Perfect: Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes him as “the seal of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty” at his creation.
  • High Position: He was a “covering cherub” [Ezekiel 28:14], indicating a high-ranking angelic role in God’s Presence.
  • The Fall: Isaiah 14:12-14 indicates that pride, wanting to be like the Most High, caused his fall.
  • Name & Nature: “Lucifer” (KJV) means “light-bearer” or “morning star” [Isaiah 14:12], highlighting his original bright, exalted status before becoming the adversary (Satan).
  • Responsible for His Own Sin: God did not create sin within him; Lucifer (as a free-will being) created evil within himself. 

The name “Lucifer” only appears once in the KJV, in Isaiah 14:12, referring to his fall, while the context of his creation is largely found in Ezekiel 28:11-19. 

Revelation‬ ‭21:3-7‬ ‭
“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”

In Jesus’ Name, go forth in victory.

Good Morning, have a blessed day ahead in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

And we pray for a blessed day ahead, in Jesus’ Name.

Hallelujah 👏
