[Faith-Talk] serving and connection and thanks for advice

Hi, Andrew,

Ever morning when you wake up, Read Psalm 143:8. Your purpose as a believer isn't as much of a purpose but more like an assignment to reflect Christ and help accomplish His purposes. "Hey God, what do you want me to do today, show me." He will do it through showing you things in the Bible and through suggestions that come to you. If the suggestions line up with the Bible, then they are from God. If you are not sure, keep on asking. He won't let you down.

Ywes i need ot be more pausative but at this point i have nothing to look
forward to doing.
Reason I said it that way about wanting to go to heaven we all should look
forward to heaven though which I do I understand it is God's timing but i
struggle what i can do on this earth to better God's kingdom and have godly
people in my life that can coach me like a life coach. i am not just tali
talking about serving but
I have had allot of questions about what i am suppose to do what am i
really here for  on this earth and what really my purpose is some days I
don't feel like i have that purpose to wake up to doing.
I need a purpose and p something pausative in my life though i don't know
exact pickture is for that though.
I have had  counciling quite a few times in the past when i gone through
low periods and some of it was was i was told to by such and such but other
times i chose to and i think allot of that problem is to much time on my
hands to much time at home and to much time to myself
I find i feel better with people around me maybe not always but it helps at
least sometimes.
and sometimes even my mom said it is due to lack of activity and lack of
useful thing
