I am 46 years old, married, one married daughter and a 22 old son. My marriage is so so. My mother in law lives with us in her own cottage.
I am tired of always having to keep the peace and keep everybody happy. I often feel drained. My husband is emotionally abusive and my mother in law depends on me for almost everything.
How do I get to know my purpose in this life. Can God show me?

FROM WHINCE COMMETH MY HELP
man!! have i ask myself this so many times over the years!! one thing i found helpful was reading on many of the women in the bible. i really have a lot of awe and respect for some of them because of how they faced some of my questions! one i found who handled her husbands mistakes and abuse was abigail! she even came to david for her husbands life to be spared! he came to respect her so much that when her husband was gone he married her! i could give you the answers you already know such as prayer etc. which GOD does honer and answer BUT we must come TO HIM with true open hearts, and willing to hear HIM which is not as easy often as it seems or should be! one thing i would suggest is to get YOURSELF some good trusted christian counseling that is bible based! sometimes the best place to start is with ourselves even if we do not want to face it ! i hope this helps GOD BLESS GUIDE AND COMFORT YOU |

Yes, God can help you...
Hi Hettie, Yes, God can help you to find your purpose. God has a specific plan for your life: "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."-Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) And it is never too late to discover that plan and begin living it! God loves you, and He wants your life to have Peace and Joy. He does not want you to fee drained or mistreated. One of the best ways to discover the path for your life to begin really building a strong relationship with God. Many times we do not realize how much God really wants to build a very close and special relationship with us, but He does. He wants to get to know you and for you to get to know Him. As you get to know Him, you will really be getting to know yourself. He will begin guiding you and showing you who you really are, the things that really make you happy, and your true purpose. To help you start developing a deeper relationship with God so that He can show you your purpose, I would recommend the free lessons in the Holy Spirit Filled Living Course. They will show you how to connect with God so that you can know what His plan is for you so you can begin really enjoying your life. I hope that helps. I am sure other women will have some great advice for you as well. God Bless! Ameerah Online Women's Bible Study Group Leader |
