Why Are You Here?

‘He chose us.’ Ephesians 1:4

When it comes to God’s will for your life, He decides it and you discover it!

It’s not something you can change, or 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.

The choice is yours!

But how do you know God’s will for your life?

Tell Him: ‘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. 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. Isaiah 49:5. 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 minimising 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 side-tracked 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 glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.”’ John 17:4. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.’
