I know exactly what you're talking about as I'm currently experiencing that too, I have times when I feel bad for being at peace but lacking direction and not really knowing exactly what HIS purpose for my life is. I prayed about this yesterday and even now I just got out of prayer for this matter
Would appreciate prayer for this time in my life of trying to figure out where I want to be next career wise and where God wants me. Timely video as I do feel a bit aimless and I don’t want to be where I’m at much longer. Prayers to you all.
1:29 This part is interesting. So there can be an actual point where we've spent too much time without community and God sends us a conviction of loneliness to move us back to it. Especially important to point out in the isolation of most people throughout the past couple of years 🤔
I haven’t watched this video yet but I know that this is God’s whisper to me. I’ve been trying so hard to be closer to God. I always feel like I’m not doing enough. I’ve been off of social media, not watching tv, and I’ve stopped dating for about 5 months now. I just desperately want to know my purpose…I can feel myself slipping back into old habits and depression. I know that I shouldn’t be, but I’m afraid.
Just make sure you replace what you are giving up with something good. It's about not doing things but it's also about doing the right things (all by grace of course)
Lately i’ve been feeling very very aimless as i just don’t know what i want to do in my life careerwise etc. I also don’t have a lot of (christian) friends and this also really makes it difficult to see the purpose of my life. Praying to God he will help me find my purpose and calling!
Great points, Mark. Often, you can find your calling when there's nothing left to do except one gift you've likely been neglecting. You can also better navigate others after you've been through a storm yourself and have managed to find the right pathway. Usually comes with dropping excess baggage, getting in better shape, eating right and finding the clearest route even if it's not your desired destination at the moment. We must do these things for our mind and spirit.
Realizing through reading some of the comments, that the enemy would have you to think you are alone and the only one... Prayers to us all, as we are seeking God's direction in the shifting of this season, may He grant us wisdom, favor, and may we be reminded the battle is already won! Thank you for this timely message, sending light, and love to All!!! 💫💕🙏🏾
God bless you, Mark. Yesterday I had a literal break down in front of my parents because of the uncertainties of what is next and I cried out to the Lord for clarity. This morning, I was notified with Psalm 145:18 on my phone and then later I come across this video. The LORD has truly heard my prayers 🙌🙌❤️ Thanks much
Yes He 'lovingly' makes us feel aimless. He lovingly makes me feel single and lonely to draw me to him He lovingly makes me suffer This all but feels like abuse (love)
Make it make sense…. This is exactly what I’m dealing with right now.. it’s hard to feel interested in most anything & I feel like I’m in a constant state of limbo. It’s stressing me out.
Exactly where I’m at. Aimless actually feels appropriate. I’ve been discouraged thinking God can’t provide for what He has purposed for me. I don’t know why I’ve been so lacking in faith when I know God promises to be faithful to finish His work in each one of us.
I thank God for all he does everyday for me and everyone else to make sure we feel loved and are guided in what ever we do in our life ♾🙏✝️🌹😇🙌🥀❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥♾
GOD made me feel aimless to get back into graduate school, now I’ll be interning as a therapist and i am so excited/fulfilled. Go with the feeling, He will guide you the rest of the way 🙌🏽
Imagine not asking to being created, but being created... , understanding that the purpose is not your purpose, is Gods purpose, no matter what you insist on doing...
I feel real aimless! I am bored out of my skull. I am used to being busy. I am not sure of my calling right now? I like praying for people. When I was younger, a lot of people came to me for advice. Idk????? I do have way more time now than I previously had!
Thanks for this. For the past 6 years I have felt aimless and have felt all kinds of negative emotions from it. Thank you for this perspective that shed some light in understanding purpose and calling. I feel more at peace instead of anxiety to figure out my calling which is a good sign for me.
thank you for this video. it is so timely as I am currently going through a season of confusion and aimlessness. I have been immensely blessed by this video. thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information and giving much needed insight into what I've been praying about recently. I've reached a point in my life where I'm feeling aimless and stuck and I believe that God answered my prayer through this video. You touched on the point I definitely wasn't aware of, which is the fact that our calling can change over time and that was a light bulb moment for me. I now realise that I should do some serious introspection about the trials I've been through to determine how I can help others overcome them. All the points you make brought me some clarity and a starting point for getting unstuck. Thank you once again and God bless you 🙏🏽 ❤
Amen - perfect word. It is the middle ground between us stepping all the way thru the door or keeping one foot in the world. Exactly what I need to hear. 🤗
I think it's a process and always re-examining ourselves. Big picture it's about glorifying God but on the day to day it's about loving God and loving people in the ways that come into your life. Bloom where you are planted, so to speak :)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Cor 1:3-5 posted before I saw the very end lol. My favorite verses.
After reading the entire chapter of Psalm 16, I think the path of light its referring to in verse 11 is the path of eternal life with Christ in heaven, not the path of life in our current world. But I still do agree with the points you made in the video.
Wow.. i the devil really out here workin hard. I really needed to hear this message and the alerts are on and everything and somehow I never got the alert. But God is out here workin harder and gave me a sign to check. Lol devil you loose 😛.
I need to make more money because I’m 26 and still live at home in a toxic environment. I’ve taken all of the action I possibly can to make more money, but nothing is working. I have been praying for more ideas and opportunities, but nothing is happening and I can’t think of anything else to do. I don’t understand. I also have a strong desire for marriage, but I can’t even afford to go out to eat myself. So I don’t think I should be looking to date. I just don’t know what’s going on, and my life sucks.
God will actually make you feel aimless if your living a aimless life as a way of motivating you to find your purpose and calling 2. God will make you feel aimless as a way of crystallizing your specific Calling. God could be giving you a greeting of sim she jt for your life which is to glorify God What is the need that people God allow
Hey so you said in the article And a man who has struggled with a porn addiction but has repented is going to be better equipped to help a younger man with this issue compared to a woman who has never struggled with this type of thing.woman do struggle with porn just as men. I have been struggling with porn addiction for 10 years
yes, it was an example. I never said women don't struggle with that. But the example still stands that a man should help a man with this and a woman a woman as they usually are coming at that issue differently.
This video was very helpful..I'll Go to God/JESUS more for where he wants me in live. And for him to give me wisdom for my path to my call and purpose he wants for me cause, I've been aimlessly trying to find a job I want to love..and not a job for just the money. But a job that helps others. But the thing is .I have Soo many different things I love and like in life . But idk. Part of me is not 100% sure about my thoughts on some jobs I want. Like a job helping kids learn about Jesus and or taking care of them (my wife cant have kids till she is Sezure free) ..so I thought take care of other kids .(I've helped raise my nephews since birth..) I love doing that . And I see the evil that is being taught to kids..and I want to FIGHT back against that.. My other things I like are wanting to travel and learn different walks of Live.., see other parts of the world. Learn ABOUT different religions.(but not change mine) I love video games .and Japan.. I'm very smart In theology and apologetics..I wish I had the money and time to go to college for bible smarts. I enjoy friendly smart bible debate stuff .
Could it ever be that Christians have seasons of stillness that feel like aimlessness, because we are measuring it in human terms (productivity, results, etc) , but rather is quite like God’s peace and really all we need is to be still and keep listening and waiting on the Lord?
I think I reached that point of apathy where I feel at peace inside but at the same time with no direction, just purposeless... Thank you 🙏
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading
I know exactly what you're talking about as I'm currently experiencing that too, I have times when I feel bad for being at peace but lacking direction and not really knowing exactly what HIS purpose for my life is. I prayed about this yesterday and even now I just got out of prayer for this matter
SUNY THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST
I AN HAVING SIMILAR EXPERIENCE
HAVE FAITH..NO ONE NEEDS FAITH WHEN THEY CAN SEE..
WE LOOK TO HIM WE CANNOT SEE
Would appreciate prayer for this time in my life of trying to figure out where I want to be next career wise and where God wants me. Timely video as I do feel a bit aimless and I don’t want to be where I’m at much longer. Prayers to you all.
God bless Kyle as you seek the Lord's leading!
Exactly what I too am feeling and asking God at this very moment. Lifting you too up in prayer🙏
@@Peace201302 thank you, prayed for you too 🙏🏻
Prayers🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@alexis1793 Thank you so much.

Blows my goshdarn mind. Every time I’m thinking something - ur video pops up out of nowhere
I haven’t watched this video yet but I know that this is God’s whisper to me. I’ve been trying so hard to be closer to God. I always feel like I’m not doing enough.

Just make sure you replace what you are giving up with something good. It's about not doing things but it's also about doing the right things (all by grace of course)
I feel the same way
Lately i’ve been feeling very very aimless as i just don’t know what i want to do in my life careerwise etc. I also don’t have a lot of (christian) friends and this also really makes it difficult to see the purpose of my life. Praying to God he will help me find my purpose and calling!

Amen! I'm so glad you are looking for what the Lord is saying! Keep going!
Yes
He 'lovingly' makes us feel aimless.
He lovingly makes me feel single and lonely to draw me to him
He lovingly makes me suffer
This all but feels like abuse (love)
Make it make sense…. This is exactly what I’m dealing with right now.. it’s hard to feel interested in most anything & I feel like I’m in a constant state of limbo. It’s stressing me out.
God bless as you seek God's leading and as you work hard on doing good for God's glory (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Keep staying in the word! God will guide you!

Excellent Video!!! How can we practically know we are living a life aiming at something?

This video was for me…
I feel restless, bored. Like there are too many hours in my day. I'm clueless. Help yall.

In case you get booted off of here, you should bridge your channel to Odysee. It would be a blessing to the people on that platform.
What is glorifying God?
Putting him first in everything you do
Making Jesus known :) Here's a full video on that question: th-cam.com/video/Jwq7fls97Fc/w-d-xo.html
This video was very helpful..I'll Go to God/JESUS more for where he wants me in live.

And I see the evil that is being taught to kids..and I want to FIGHT back against that..
My other things I like are wanting to travel and learn different walks of Live.., see other parts of the world. Learn ABOUT different religions.(but not change mine)
I love video games .and Japan..
I'm very smart In theology and apologetics..I wish I had the money and time to go to college for bible smarts. I enjoy friendly smart bible debate stuff .

You’ll know the difference
sure, but it's also possible you are sitting too much. Pray, study, but also do good (Ephesians 2:8-10)
“Your past mess is your future ministry. “💯
