A Prayer For Purpose

A prayer for Purpose

When I need a dream to follow

O God,

I’m amazed to know that you created me for a purpose. It only makes sense that you, my Creator, know exactly what will satisfy the longings of my heart. But I have a choice: either I follow you and do what you already know will fulfill me and make a difference in this world, or I choose to go my own way. O Lord, I choose to pursue your plan for me because that is the only way I can be sure that my life will have meaning. I choose you and want to accomplish what you created me to do. Could life be more meaningful? I understand that it may take years to fulfill your plans, God. But I will never stop searching because the searching keeps me close to you.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. . . . You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! Psalm 139:13, 16-17
