Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I here?

Why was I born in this time, this place?

God has the answer—

He has a purpose for your life, now! Your DNA is specific to you. No one else on the planet has ever been or ever will be just like you. And God’s purpose for you, crafted by His hand, is specific to you, too.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 tells us:

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

Through the prophet Jeremiah, God clearly conveys He has a plan for your life. But how do you know what His plan is? Verse 12 gives you the answer––“call on God and pray.” Turn off your phone, social media, work emails and all the noise around you. Talk to God like you’d talk to a friend. Then listen.

Do this and verse 13 promises you’ll get to know God. You’ll learn how to listen for His voice and hear His plan for you.

Why are you here? Only God knows.
