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

New season, same God.

The concept of a “new season, same God” reminds us that while our life circumstances, trials, and blessings constantly shift, God’s character, promises, and love remain entirely consistent . It anchors our faith in the truth that He is the steadfast constant in every transition .

Key Biblical Foundations

  • God’s Unchanging Nature: Hebrews 13:8 perfectly summarizes this theme by declaring, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”. No matter what phase of life you enter, His grace is continuously available.
  • The Sovereignty of Time: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 teaches that “for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven”. This means every season of weeping, laughing, building, or resting is divinely ordered.
  • Faithfulness in Every Chapter: Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us that His “steadfast love never ceases” and His “mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.”

Applying the Teaching to Your Life

When you step into a new season—whether it brings joy, grief, or uncertainty —you can lean into these truths :

  1. Rely on His Character: God’s nature doesn’t change . His attributes of love, justice, and mercy remain true regardless of your surroundings . [1, 2]
  2. Rest in His Promises: God may shift the direction of your life, but He never alters His promises . You can build your hope on His word instead of your shifting emotions.
  3. Embrace the Growth: Every season allows you to experience a different facet of God’s provision . You can explore deeper reflections on this topic at sites like Well-Watered Women or LeaderSource.

And we pray in July with praise and worship to The Father of all things beautiful and holy: US in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

Good morning families & friends:

Happy New Month of July based on Leviticus 26:3-11

“If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land. You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. ‘For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you. You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new. I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.”

And we pray 🙏🏾/🤲

Gracious Father, Glorious God, our Defender, ADONAI, Shalom; El-Shaddai: Our present Help in ages past and our hope for the months and years to come; Hallelujah!!!

As we have entered this new month, by Your beyond AWESOME grace carrying Your Presence everywhere we go, yielding to Your commands and bowing to Your will and counsel.

And we send this victory proclamation to bulldoze all the evils planted in this month and remaining half of this year, to banish all negative occurrences and to decapitate all evil fingers pointed toward our direction.

And God will rid our lives of all frustrations and free us of all entanglements to evil; the enemy will never be able to outwit us, the children of disobedience will never be able to discharge their bullets into any area of our lives and we shall flourish in the Presence of God.

The Enemy & Outwitting: The concept of the enemy not being able to outwit us originates in 2 Corinthians 2:11.

Children of Disobedience: The phrase “children of disobedience” (or “sons of disobedience”) is used by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:2 and Ephesians 5:6.

Discharging Weapons / Fiery Darts: The imagery of the enemy discharging weapons or fiery arrows relates to Ephesians 6:16 and the promise of protection in Isaiah 54:17.

Flourishing in the Presence of God: This echoes the imagery of Psalm 92:13 and Psalm 16:11.

And there will be peace and prosperity in and around us; the showers of blessings will come in every season of our lives; we shall be giving out the old things to make rooms for greater and better benefits; and it shall be well with us, this month and beyond, in Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.

“And I will make them and the places round about My hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.”
— Ezekiel 34:26 (KJV)

🙏💕😎☮️.

This final passage in Ezekiel 34 centers on God’s promise to rescue, protect, and provide for His people. By sending “showers of blessing”, He highlights that He will provide exactly what is needed, right when it is needed, to make them and their surroundings thrive, Hallelujah!!!

Be blessed, in Jesus’ MIGHTY Name, Amen.

And it was seen, I share as led: wait on the LORD in thanksgiving, Amen.

When God directs, it IS!!!

And we pray 🙏🏾

Walking, a testimony!

Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on!

5,000 steps is roughly 2 to 2.5 miles (about 3.2 to 4 kilometers).

  • Time: It typically takes 35 to 45 minutes to walk at a moderate pace.
  • Calories: Depending on your weight and speed, it burns about 150 to 250 calories.

Distance can vary slightly based on your height and stride length. You can calculate exactly how these steps translate to your personal stride using the Omni Steps to Miles Calculator or the Steps App Distance Calculator.

Being discharged from the rehabilitation hospital I was transferred to, I was discharged in/with a wheelchair. I was led as I have shared to be ambulatory; we have already shared my refusal to accept the disability. To God be ALL the glory.

I give credit to my Dad for walking with me, encouraging me to walk and inviting me to go on evening walks with him! I shared years ago at his reaction of emotion and joy when I walked around the park without stopping!

To receive inspiration ✨️ pray unceasingly!
