    I think I reached that point of apathy where I feel at peace inside but at the same time with no direction, just purposeless... Thank you 🙏

      I know exactly what you're talking about as I'm currently experiencing that too, I have times when I feel bad for being at peace but lacking direction and not really knowing exactly what HIS purpose for my life is. I prayed about this yesterday and even now I just got out of prayer for this matter

    1:29 This part is interesting. So there can be an actual point where we've spent too much time without community and God sends us a conviction of loneliness to move us back to it. Especially important to point out in the isolation of most people throughout the past couple of years 🤔

    I haven’t watched this video yet but I know that this is God’s whisper to me. I’ve been trying so hard to be closer to God. I always feel like I’m not doing enough. I’ve been off of social media, not watching tv, and I’ve stopped dating for about 5 months now. I just desperately want to know my purpose…I can feel myself slipping back into old habits and depression. I know that I shouldn’t be, but I’m afraid.

      Just make sure you replace what you are giving up with something good. It's about not doing things but it's also about doing the right things (all by grace of course)

    Lately i’ve been feeling very very aimless as i just don’t know what i want to do in my life careerwise etc. I also don’t have a lot of (christian) friends and this also really makes it difficult to see the purpose of my life. Praying to God he will help me find my purpose and calling!

  • @frijolescrnbrd
    @frijolescrnbrd Před 2 lety +4

    Exactly where I’m at. Aimless actually feels appropriate. I’ve been discouraged thinking God can’t provide for what He has purposed for me. I don’t know why I’ve been so lacking in faith when I know God promises to be faithful to finish His work in each one of us.

    Great points, Mark.
    Often, you can find your calling when there's nothing left to do except one gift you've likely been neglecting. You can also better navigate others after you've been through a storm yourself and have managed to find the right pathway. Usually comes with dropping excess baggage, getting in better shape, eating right and finding the clearest route even if it's not your desired destination at the moment. We must do these things for our mind and spirit.

    God bless you, Mark. Yesterday I had a literal break down in front of my parents because of the uncertainties of what is next and I cried out to the Lord for clarity. This morning, I was notified with Psalm 145:18 on my phone and then later I come across this video. The LORD has truly heard my prayers 🙌🙌❤️ Thanks much

    This all but feels like abuse (love)

    Thanks for this. For the past 6 years I have felt aimless and have felt all kinds of negative emotions from it. Thank you for this perspective that shed some light in understanding purpose and calling. I feel more at peace instead of anxiety to figure out my calling which is a good sign for me.

    Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information and giving much needed insight into what I've been praying about recently.
    I've reached a point in my life where I'm feeling aimless and stuck and I believe that God answered my prayer through this video. You touched on the point I definitely wasn't aware of, which is the fact that our calling can change over time and that was a light bulb moment for me. I now realise that I should do some serious introspection about the trials I've been through to determine how I can help others overcome them.
    All the points you make brought me some clarity and a starting point for getting unstuck. Thank you once again and God bless you 🙏🏽 ❤

    I need to make more money because I’m 26 and still live at home in a toxic environment. I’ve taken all of the action I possibly can to make more money, but nothing is working. I have been praying for more ideas and opportunities, but nothing is happening and I can’t think of anything else to do. I don’t understand.
    I also have a strong desire for marriage, but I can’t even afford to go out to eat myself. So I don’t think I should be looking to date.
    I just don’t know what’s going on, and my life sucks.

    Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Cor 1:3-5 posted before I saw the very end lol. My favorite verses.

    Could it ever be that Christians have seasons of stillness that feel like aimlessness, because we are measuring it in human terms (productivity, results, etc) , but rather is quite like God’s peace and really all we need is to be still and keep listening and waiting on the Lord?

    This video was very helpful..I'll Go to God/JESUS more for where he wants me in live. And for him to give me wisdom for my path to my call and purpose he wants for me cause, I've been aimlessly trying to find a job I want to love..and not a job for just the money. But a job that helps others. But the thing is .I have Soo many different things I love and like in life .
    But idk. Part of me is not 100% sure about my thoughts on some jobs I want. Like a job helping kids learn about Jesus and or taking care of them (my wife cant have kids till she is Sezure free) ..so I thought take care of other kids .(I've helped raise my nephews since birth..) I love doing that .
    And I see the evil that is being taught to kids..and I want to FIGHT back against that..
    My other things I like are wanting to travel and learn different walks of Live.., see other parts of the world. Learn ABOUT different religions.(but not change mine)
    I love video games .and Japan..
    I'm very smart In theology and apologetics..I wish I had the money and time to go to college for bible smarts. I enjoy friendly smart bible debate stuff .
