you have a purpose even if you feel lost
“Have you ever woken up feeling like you’re just… existing? No fire, no direction—just going through the motions? I remember a morning like that. Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering, ‘What’s the point? Why do I even bother?’ If you’ve felt this way, you’re not alone. But you don’t have to stay there. we all have a purpose.”
When Purpose Feels Lost
A lack of purpose is like a fire slowly dying; without it, life begins to feel empty and miserable. Depression can creep in, wrapping you in feelings of unworthiness and uselessness. It’s like building a sandcastle at the edge of the sea—each wave of self-doubt washes away a little more of your joy and passion for life.
It can feel like you’re being attacked by unseen forces.
“Your mind is powerful—it can either destroy you or become your greatest weapon.”
Here’s the truth: you are being attacked—but don’t be afraid. Let this be your fuel to fight back.
“Only valuable things are attacked and stolen.”
The enemy targets your mind because he knows your potential. If you’ve been feeling like your purpose is slipping away, it’s not because you’re worthless—it’s because you are capable of great things.
What Can an Ant Teach Us About Purpose?
Ever watched an ant carry a crumb bigger than itself? Ants are tiny, but their determination is remarkable. They don’t quit just because a task seems impossible. They work together, each fulfilling their purpose—even if it’s just building a tiny mound of dirt.
You may not be able to “move Mount Everest,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference. Like the ant, you were created for a purpose—even if it seems small. Impacting one person’s life, caring for an animal, creating content, music, or products—these things matter.
“You were born with a purpose. Even if you haven’t found it yet, it’s there.”
How Can You Overcome Feelings of Unworthiness?
1. Feed Your Mind With Truth
Your mind is like a garden. What you plant, grows. Feed it with truth, and you’ll see positive change. Feed it with negativity, and weeds of doubt and fear will take over.
Ask yourself:
- What music am I listening to?
- What shows, reels, or books am I consuming?
- Who am I surrounding myself with?
- What am I telling myself daily?
Every choice has an impact. Start small—replace one negative influence with something uplifting. Over time, those small choices will transform your mindset.
2. Immerse Yourself in God’s Word
Reading Scripture realigns your perspective with God’s truth about you. Here are some verses to meditate on:
- Genesis 1:26: “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.’ “You carry divine worth because you were created in God’s image.
- Luke 12:24: “Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap… yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! “If God cares for the birds, how much more does He care for you?
- 1 Corinthians 7:23: “You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.”Your worth isn’t determined by people—it’s rooted in Christ.
3. Spend Time in Prayer
Prayer isn’t just talking—it’s connecting with the One who created you. Bring your feelings of unworthiness to God. Let Him remind you of your identity in Him.
4. Connect With Your Purpose
You may not know your full calling yet, and that’s okay. Purpose often unfolds over time. Start by serving where you are. Love the people around you. Volunteer. Create. Act. The more you engage with life, the clearer your purpose will become.
