Have you ever spent time thinking about "What is my purpose in life?"
God designed every person for a specific role in the grand scheme. But God's plans are usually only known to God. The purpose of your life may not be immediately apparent.

God's sovereignty reigns supreme in heaven and on earth. In good times and hard times, it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. The only way for us to understand is to put our life in Christ Jesus. God lives in every person's heart who believes in Him.
