Bible Verses:
Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
At one point or another we all get mad or upset at ourselves, I know I have. Most of the time we just get into little funks where we keep getting down on ourselves and start stressing out about the smallest things, and for some people it's worse than others! I know people, including myself, who have gotten really down on themselves, stressing over small things, and have felt like they don't really have a purpose. They have a hard time trusting that God has a plan for us. In the fall right at the beginning of the school year, I felt very stressed out and kept getting down on myself and had a harder time realizing that there was a plan for me. I kept praying that everything would get better, and sometimes it did for a while, but for the most part it stayed the same or got worse. I kept fighting through everything, and with some help from friends, family, and prayer I got better. I realized that stressing over everything did nothing good to me and I eventually realized that instead of stressing I could turn to God and pray. This helped me see that there's a plan for me and my life! What you should take from this is; when you're having a hard time, like getting down on yourself or having a hard time trusting that there's a plan for you, always turn to God and keep praying because he has a plan for you and you have a purpose here on Earth!!
One bible story that relates to everyone having a purpose is the story of Elijah. Elijah was a prophet, but also a man, who made mistakes and was scared sometimes. But Elijah always tried his hardest to trust in God. God sent Elijah to talk to King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, to tell them that there would be a drought for 3 years. If it wasn't for God sending Elijah, King Ahab and Jezebel could have never known that there would have been that bad drought and couldn't have tried to prepare for what was to come.
