Day 124 What If I Don’t Know My Purpose? | Jeremiah 29:11

Have you ever felt lost about your purpose? In this transparent weekend episode, Lauren makes a surprising confession: sometimes she doesn't know what she's doing either. This refreshingly honest admission opens the door to a powerful exploration of divine purpose and human uncertainty.

Lauren draws us to the comforting promise of Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares, "I know the plans I have for you." She emphasizes that the responsibility of knowing our purpose isn't actually ours—it's God's. This subtle but profound shift changes everything about how we approach seasons of waiting, wandering, or wondering what's next.

"The God who spoke galaxies into being is not confused about your life," Lauren reminds us, putting our personal uncertainty into cosmic perspective. When we feel behind schedule or worry we've missed our moment, this truth grounds us. Her gentle prayer guides listeners toward surrendering their need to know everything and control outcomes, instead embracing divine timing with patience and trust.

The episode closes with what might be the words you most need to hear today: "You are not behind. God is still working." In a culture obsessed with timelines and achievements, this counter-cultural reminder offers genuine relief and renewed hope. If you're struggling with questions about your purpose or feeling pressure to have it all figured out, this episode provides both the comfort and courage to keep moving forward in faith.

Ready to release the pressure of knowing your exact purpose? Listen now, and discover how embracing God's sovereign plan brings peace even in seasons of uncertainty. Share this episode with someone who needs permission to trust God's timing rather than their own timeline.

00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:06.253
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:21.763
And now.

00:00:21.763 --> 00:00:23.388
Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:34.648 --> 00:00:36.590
Today is Day 124.

00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:38.271
What if I don't know my purpose?

00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:40.353
And now Weekends with Lauren secret?

00:00:40.353 --> 00:00:49.049
I don't always know what I'm doing and I know that sounds like a terrible admission for a podcast called Wisdom for the Day, but it's true.

00:00:49.049 --> 00:00:53.002
Sometimes I wonder am I really walking in God's purpose?

00:00:53.002 --> 00:00:54.344
Am I missing it?

00:00:54.344 --> 00:00:55.386
Am I too late?

00:00:55.386 --> 00:00:59.694
But then I read Jeremiah 29, 11, and I exhale.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:05.451
God says I know the plans I have for you, not you better figure it out.

00:01:05.451 --> 00:01:13.570
Not, I hope you don't mess it up, but I know that means even when I don't have a plan, he does.

00:01:13.570 --> 00:01:18.772
Maybe you're in a season of waiting or wandering or wondering what's next.

00:01:18.772 --> 00:01:22.009
You're not alone and you're not lost.

00:01:22.009 --> 00:01:27.260
The God who spoke galaxies into being is not confused about your life.

00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:29.364
His timing is still perfect.

00:01:29.364 --> 00:01:31.347
His plan is still good.

00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:34.713
So today, let's not panic about purpose.

00:01:34.713 --> 00:01:38.186
Let's trust the one who wrote ours before we were even born.

00:01:38.186 --> 00:01:43.903
Let's pray, lord, you know what I don't when I feel uncertain.

00:01:43.903 --> 00:01:46.731
Be my peace when I try to force things.

00:01:46.731 --> 00:01:47.781
Slow me down.

00:01:47.781 --> 00:01:51.549
Teach me to trust your plan, even when I can't see it.

00:01:51.549 --> 00:01:53.754
In Jesus' name, amen.

00:01:53.754 --> 00:01:57.706
Before we close, I'll say it again you are not behind.

00:01:57.706 --> 00:01:59.189
God is still working.

00:01:59.189 --> 00:02:04.503
Hold on to hope this is Wisdom for the Day Weekends with Lauren.

00:02:04.503 --> 00:02:05.825
