What's Your Purpose? - A Nighttime Prayer


1x
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” -- Psalms 139:16

Please Pray:

Dear Lord, I struggle to keep my life's goals aligned with the purposes you have for me. Please shine a light on the places where I lack purpose and instead have substituted goals. Help me to dig deeper in Your Word to discover the answers to questions that would keep me from serving You. In Jesus' name, Amen
