Purpose Isn’t Lost — It’s Unfolding: What to Remember When You Feel Off Track

Sis… that question right there? That’s a holy question. The kind that shows your spirit is awake, not lost. Let’s sit with it together for a second. Breathe. God is not offended by your wondering.

s (1)

“Am I Even on the Right Path, Lord?”

Scripture (NIV)
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10

Real-Life Confession

There are seasons when you look at your life and think, “I love God… but am I missing something?”
Like — am I late to my purpose? Did I take a wrong turn? Is everyone else walking in their calling while I’m over here Googling mine?

Yeah. That feeling is LOUD sometimes.

And it usually shows up when you’re growing, not when you’re failing.

Truth Shift

This verse doesn’t say you were created to figure everything out.
It says you were created by God, on purpose, with purpose — and He already prepared the path.

In other words:
You don’t create your calling.
You walk into it.

God is not up in heaven panicking like, “Oh no, she missed it.”
He’s steady. Intentional. Ahead of you.

Personal Application

Here’s the grounding truth you need today:

If you are seeking God, desiring Him, asking honest questions, and trying to obey with what you know right now —
you are not off track.

Purpose is not one big dramatic moment.
It’s faithfulness in small, ordinary, unseen steps.

Sometimes you’re already doing what God created you to do —
it just doesn’t look how you imagined yet.

Holy Clapback

I am not behind.
I am becoming — on God’s timeline, not my anxiety’s.

Throwback Prayer

God, thank You for creating me with intention. When I start questioning myself, remind me that You are the Author of my life. Help me trust that You are guiding my steps — even when I can’t see the whole picture. Settle my heart and lead me forward in peace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Affirmation

I am walking in purpose, one obedient step at a time.

Optional Action Step

Ask God this today — no pressure, no performance:
“Lord, what’s the next right step?”
Not the whole plan. Just the next step.

And trust… He will answer.

Sis, the fact that you’re asking this question tells me one thing clearly:
God is already working in you.
You’re not lost. You’re listening. And that matters more than you know. 💛
