These days we think pretty much everything is available at our fingertips, but there are just some things you can't look up online. I had an overwhelming sense of desire to understand my purpose and the first place I went the internet. It was such an empty feeling when I Googled “what is my purpose” to find that there was absolutely no answer for me on the world wide web.
This could be very this dissatisfying and even discouraging if we had nowhere else to look. But gratefully, that's not the case, and there is a place to where we can turn our eyes, listen with our ears and ask the question “what is my purpose”.
I began asking God what my purpose was, I began to pray. I wasn't involved in deep, clear communication with God as of yet so the idea of praying for Him to reveal my purpose was kind of like asking the clouds to rain - I had a level of belief that an answer could come, but there's no telling when or to what extent.
But I did pray, and over time I prayed some more in different ways. Then, a little here, a little there, the pieces began to be revealed. Over the years those pieces built on each other, some given through direct communication and others clarity of mission. Some even seemed completely unrelated, but as the time passed and the timing came to be, God wove those pieces together into an intricate and amazing tapestry of purpose for my life.
This didn't happen all at once, but rather six years coming, not six years since my day of salvation, but six years since the time I went on that website and began asking for my purpose.
Don't give up on the purpose that He has for your life, even if you don't know it yet, because it is in that and in that alone that you will find your fullness of satisfaction and you will be made complete.
When you pray, He is listening.
