When you have been unemployed as long as I have, your passion and purpose does tend to wane. It's hard at times to even get up in the morning and pretend to go to work. Yes, I do know this. I've been pretending for a long time. I do get the sense of anger and frustration I hear and see around me. I share in it. I do want to scream at times at those captains of industry that laugh in our faces. I know their time is coming soon. They will one day be in the same "boat" as we are now, struggling to survive in an increasingly hostile world.
To combat this feeling of hopelessness and get back the passion that I lost, I lean on the Lord. I talk to him constantly about everything. I know that the Lord is leading me. I just have to continue in that leading and not get sidetracked by worry and fear. Yes, there is a lot of fear in this new venture of mine. There are many things I don't know. I'm eager to learn. I think that is essential to any new venture...the willingness to learn. So how do you find your passion and purpose in life? You start at the source of all life...God.
I know that nowadays it's not very popular to depend on God. Most have forgotten what God has done for them and continues to do for them. All of us have grown up to be too independent. We want to do things our own way. We don't realize that we're playing into the hands of Satan and his minions by doing that. We all do have the option of letting go of the anger, dissolution and frustration that threatens us. We can instead start to embrace the goodness around us, even when it seems like its hidden from view. I admit that I do tend at times to listen to the voices around me telling me that there's no hope for you. Its the same voice that haunts me sometimes at night. I can't let that voice rule me. God rules.
