UNDERSTANDING YOUR PURPOSE And DIRECTION

As people of faith, we pray about many things in life for ourselves, for our loved ones, for the world, and even our “enemies”. 
But in all of my years of gathering with people to pray, I can hardly count the number of times I heard someone asking for prayers for their purpose.


Your purpose is not just a pie-in-the-sky dream that you maybe could ponder on if you have time or inspiration. 
Your God-given purpose is a real, pre-planned, personalized calling that God has specifically designed for you to impact the world and glorify His name based on how He made you.

So it is our spiritual responsibility as believers to be listening, looking, and sensing what is being revealed to us about our purpose through God and by observing ourselves and our lives. 
Fulfilling our God-given purpose is not only a service to other people, but we also reap benefits in our own lives from the inside and out when we begin to pursue our calling. 
God desires for you to desire to fulfil your purpose–His purpose for you.

He is not in a rush such that you should feel any pressure. But as you grow in your faith, character, and intimacy with Him, He will whisper clues to your calling into your spirit, heart, and mind. When you have decisions to make that affect the path of your life, you will be in tune with His leading and less likely to make a decision based only on emotions that could make walking in your purpose more difficult.

It’s helpful when you are intentional to try to be aware of His voice within you and other ways He speaks to you. But even if you are not yet used to recognizing His prompting in your soul or around you, saying prayers for purpose and direction can help you to stay focused on seeking His responses and how He is moving in your life to draw you more into alignment with His will.

God is faithful to answer prayers in His time in His way. 
Growing into your purpose is a process–a journey from exploration to discovery to preparation to building momentum to fulfilling in different ways in different seasons of life depending on what God is calling you to at the time.

Throughout that entire process, seeking God’s direction, wisdom, strength, peace, provision, and all of your needs through Him will be critical to effectively walking in your purpose in the ups, downs, uncertainties, changes, and transformations that come on the path.

DO YOU SEE THESE STRANGE LINES ON YOUR NAILS? DON'T JOKE WITH IT, THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS OF YOUR HEALTH

As I’ve gotten older, those vertical ridges on my nails seem to be getting more and more prominent. That’s when I decided to do some research to see if those ridges meant anything about my health, and if there was anything I could do to get rid of them. What They Mean About Your Health After a lot of research, I did find that there is a small, rare possibility that those ridges can mean an underlying medical condition or possibly even nail trauma. But for most of us, it’s completely normal as we age to see them getting more noticeable, especially if you have dry skin or skin conditions such as eczema. I’m 36, and they’ve only recently started bothering me, but I’m relieved to find that they are most likely harmless. I’m just getting old. But Why Are They There? They’re basically like wrinkles of the nails! As we age, the nail matrix gradually starts to lose it’s effectiveness in some areas, causing your nails to grow out uneven, resulting in what we see as lines or ridges that run from
