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, “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

Your testimony is PENDING!!! LET GO and Let God!!!


I am led to refer to Ruth in the Bible! Her husband died! She was asked by her mother-in-law (mother of her deceased husband) to return to her family. Ruth refused! “Where you go I will go” is a famous pledge of loyalty from the Bible, spoken by Ruth to her mother-in-law Naomi in Ruth 1:16-17. It signifies an unwavering commitment to follow Naomi to Bethlehem, adopting her people and God, regardless of the hardships.
NOTE!
She was not of the people of Israel!!! Yet, HER offspring IS a descendants of BOTH Mary and Joseph! The step-parents of our LORD Jesus Christ!
Ruth was a Moabite—a Gentile and therefore not of the people of Israel by birth—yet she is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
She married Boaz, and their offspring (specifically their son Obed) became the grandfather of King David.

Relationship to Joseph: Joseph, the earthly father/step-parent of Jesus, is directly descended from King David (Matthew 1).
Relationship to Mary: According to many interpretations, Luke 3 provides the genealogy of Mary, which also traces back to David, making Ruth a direct ancestor to both of Jesus’s earthly parents.
Her inclusion highlights the theme of Grace, as a Moabite woman was grafted into the tribe of Judah and the line of the Messiah.

Key Details of Ruth’s Promise:
Context: After both women were widowed in Moab, Ruth refused to abandon Naomi, choosing to leave her homeland and go to Judah.
The Vow: “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God”.

Significance: It represents deep, selfless loyalty and a conversion to faith in God.
Finality: Ruth pledges that only death will separate them.

This passage is frequently cited as a ultimate expression of devotion, friendship, and commitment.

Yes! Before we get caught up in The Word!!! YOUR testimony IS PENDING in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

Ask, and YOU will receive! Are you knocking? Don’t knock down the door. There is the grandson d of God with The Master Key to EVERY door! God Created the people who made that door! He knows EVERYTHING!!! Seek God FIRST and ALL-WAYS!!! Then, these things will be added unto you!!!

Key Aspects of Seeking the Kingdom
– Definition: “Seeking” implies craving, aiming at, and pursuing God’s rule in your life.
– Priority: It means giving God first place in finances, relationships, and daily schedules.
Actionable Steps:
Prioritize Scripture/Prayer: Regularly meditating on God’s Word.
– Trust in Provision: Shifting focus away from worrying about necessities, knowing God will provide.
– Righteous Living: Aligning actions with God’s will rather than seeking personal gain.
Promise: The verse promises that if you make God’s Kingdom your primary focus, He will take care of your needs.

This command is a direct instruction from Jesus to reorder one’s life away from worldly anxiety and toward spiritual growth

I am Known to The Creator of ALL things!!! EVERY single action/thought/reaction/feeling/emotion is KNOWN before it occurs in the physical!

I am Known to The Creator of ALL things!!! ALL my ways are Known!!! Trials, difficulties, BLESSINGS, Amen. God ONLY allows what He knows we can handle! In Essence it is a silent cry from the bowels of the Earth to turn to God.

In meditating on this verse, I realized so very much!
God is Omnipresent and Omniscient, meaning He is present EVERYWHERE and Knows ALL things, including your exact location, thoughts, and actions at ALL times. Scripture indicates that no matter where you go, even in the deepest, most difficult, or hidden places, God is there and sees you.

Key Aspects of God’s Knowledge and Presence:
– Complete Awareness: God knows not only where you are physically, but also what you are doing, thinking, and feeling, even before you speak!
– Constant Guidance: Like a guide, God can direct you and provide for you, even if you feel lost or in a difficult situation.
– Presence in Adversity: Even during trials, God is aware of your circumstances, know this: you are exactly where He wants you to be, under His care.
– Comfort: The knowledge that God knows where you are is intended to provide comfort and assurance that you are never truly alone.

As we sow our seeds in neat rows in faith.

I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me, Hallelujah!!!
