Knowing God’s purpose for your life is one of the best things you could ever find out. It’s so important I spent months (and thousands of dollars) trying to learn how to do this on a real practical level.
Jesus said in John 17:4, “I have brought you glory on Earth by completing the work you have given me to do.”
First of all we are called to bring glory to God on this Earth and the way we do this is by completing the work he has given us to do.
This led me to a thought. Paul said “we have all sinned and fallen short of bringing God glory.” Why? Because we haven’t understood our assignment or the work we are supposed to do. If we don’t know our assignment then we definitely won’t complete it, which means we won’t bring glory to God.
Do you see why this is important?
To start off in learning God’s purpose for your life, you need to meet God on a personal level. I’m not just talking about believing God or knowing about him. I’m talking about knowing him. We know a lot of things about famous people but we don’t really know them. It’s the same with God. He’s a personal God who wants to hang out with you. It was always his desire to be with his people. Unfortunately because of wrong doing (aka sin) he was separated from his people. But he made a way to be with his people again by sending his Son to pay the price for our sins. And because of this, we can be with God again!
Now, since you are friends with God. Ask him what he wants you to do with your life. He’d love to tell you!
Then I would pay attention to the desires of your heart. What is it you long to do? If money wasn’t an issue what would you be doing with your life? This is a huge key in understanding your purpose. Not everyone has the same passions as you do. God puts those passions in your heart because he wants to use you in that area!
The next thing is to discover your God given gifts & talents. You’ve been hard-wired by God to be great at something. When you learn this, begin to focus your life around these specific strengths.
And finally use those strengths to become a solution to problems. Don’t just be one of those people who sees problems and complains about them. Be a problem solver! The most effective way for you to solve people’s problems is by offering up your gifts & talents.
As you discover these things you will begin to understand God’s purpose for you life.

i have lived many wasted years doing things i do not like.
Please help me find my God given purpose for my life. I also want to complete the work he sent me to do.
Thank you.
Thank you for this piece. I’ve been troubled in knowing God’s will for my life; I’ve prayed to see it in dream but that wouldn’t just happen. A thought keep coming to me but doubt wouldn’t just permit me (I really want to see in dream so I can rise above doubt and start something worthwhile).
Could the thought be my purpose? I keep inquiring and it led me to this site
I need Help!!!
A lot of times strong desires are keys to our purpose.
rk ! struggling with what god has for me to do. ive been locked up a few times and while attending church with several other inmates i was singled out and called over by the pasture wich he told me god has something for me to do ,not once but a couple times by different pastures ,feeling honored but confused .Im going to a good church ,accepted ujesus christ into my heart and was saved at age 13 am now 54 yrs old and still find myself backsliding time after time and trial after trial ,and falling back into old habits wich hinder my walk with god ,but not giving up .im constantly saying the sinners prayer and asking god for strength and victory over my demons,satan knows my weaknesses and preys on them constantly ive seen things people could never imagine ,if people only knew the evil out there that waits to attack at the first sign of weakness ,it doesnt scare me it knows god is my savior ,i want to be a warrior of god ,and read up on spiritual warfare and want to educate people about what we are up against and how to have victory in the name of jesus .any input on my journey ,or possible people you might know i can talk with ? please pray for me to find answers . thank you and god bless
Do you believe in angels living on earth? I’m really interested in learning about that. What do you think their purpose would be/is?
Datz should be a priority to everyone to discover his God‘s purpose 4 life. Purpose is a key to fulfilment.
I understand that as a christian we have to really embrace the will of God for our life. God said that he will never leave us nor forsake us so that let me know that he is always with us no matter how many times we mis the mark or backslide. That’s why christ died because he knew that we would keep messing up but just keep repenting and trusting in god’s word and one day you will see total victory God bless and just keep the faith.
So simple yet so brilliant. Thanks!

I think you do know your passions. Now, if you can find a role where you can help counsel people in a place God is calling you, you will begin to make a great difference with your life.
I do believe in Angels interacting on the Earth. I’m not sure where they live…=) But I find their purpose is to help the will of God be accomplished on the planet.
