Do You Know Why You're Here?
"He chose us." Ephesians 1:4 NKJV
When it comes to God's will for your life, He decides it and you discover it. It's not something you can change, a topic for debate, or a plan you get to have a say in. The truth is, you can miss God's will and be miserable, or do things His way and experience "glorious, inexpressible joy" (1 Peter 1:8 NLT). The choice is yours. "But I don't know God's will for my life," you say. Then pray this prayer: "Father, I'm tired of going through life with no real purpose because it brings no glory to You. You created every living thing, including me, that they may bring You pleasure (See Revelation 4:11). I know that You have a specific job for me to do. Your Word says You formed me in the womb to be Your servant (See Isaiah 49:5 NIV). I'm getting lots of input from other people, but I need to know the path You have chosen for me. Help me to stop ignoring and minimizing the gifts and talents You have invested in me; acting like they're of no significance. I know we are all called to serve, and I need Your help to discern who, where, when and how I should serve. I want to do what You have destined me to do and not be sidetracked by wrong priorities, busywork, or other people's desires and demands. At the end of my life, I want to be able to look back and say like Jesus, 'I brought glory to You here on earth by doing everything You told me to' (See John 17:4 NIV). In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen."
