Scripture Jeremiah 1:5 \u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you;
\nBefore you were born I sanctified you;
\nI ordained you a prophet to the nations.\u201d <\/p>\n
Observation: God knew me before I was even born. He formed me the way He desired, so why don\u2019t I feel as if I was created for a purpose and not God\u2019s mistake? Lately I\u2019ve been feeling depressed and see no purpose for my life. When I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior over twenty years ago, I was doing all sorts of things for God and now nothing. I feel as if God forgot about me and I have no idea of the direction I should go. I feel whatever it was I was supposed to accomplish has been done and it\u2019s time to go home, but I\u2019m still here and I don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and stop looking for ways to make me happy. That was never why I was formed in the first place. God created me for Him and though I\u2019m pretty sure I wasn\u2019t ordained to be a prophet to the nations, I was called to fulfill His purpose. I need to remember God created me the way I am, so He must think that I\u2019m pretty special. I still woke up this morning so instead of trying to figure out why I need to ask what\u2019s on your agenda for today my Lord.<\/p>\n
Prayer Lord it\u2019s difficult being home by myself most of the day, but I\u2019m discovering Satan is here shooting fiery darts at me. I feel defeated most of the time, but how can I lose with You next to me. Remind me each day to tell Satan to move over to make room for you to sit by my side. I love you Lord and I need your help today and I\u2019ll be asking for it again tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
