Your purpose is not just a pie in the sky dream that you maybe could ponder on if you have time or inspiration. Your God-given purpose is a real, pre-planned, personalized calling that God has specifically designed for you to impact the world and glorify His name based on how He made you.

He is not in a rush such that you should feel any pressure. But as you grow in your faith, character and intimacy with Him, He will whisper clues to your calling into your spirit, heart and mind. And when you have decisions to make that affect the path of your life, you will be in tune with His leading and less likely to make a decision based only in emotions that could make walking in your purpose more difficult.

As a woman in midlife, you may be eager to figure out what direction you should take in focusing your time and energy in this season. But we must be patient because our purpose is usually revealed in parts and may not be revealed to us right away. You may be led in a certain direction, but not yet know the significance of it to your future calling.

You may be in a period of preparation spiritually, personally or even professionally before God shows you your next step. In the meantime, you can explore who you are through self-reflection, self-assessments or life purpose coaching to gain more insights into your design and how your life experiences may hold clues to what you may be called to do.

We must make our primary focus becoming the person who God desires us to be by mirroring His heart, modeling His son, and following His Spirit. This is how we begin to take delight in who He is, in our relationship with Him, and in living our life for His glory and not our own. Then as we pray for purpose, we will be led to pray God-centered instead of self-centered prayers.

He may not tell us everything for which we should pray, but if we are focused on what He is calling us to do, our desires in prayer will be that which leads us closer to His will and He will begin to reveal the direction we must take in different areas of our life so that we can move farther on the path of purpose.

We may tend to think that if God has a purpose for us, then it should just fall into our lap and doors should open without effort from us. But since God is the source of our purpose, we are partners with Him in carrying out our purpose, and He also provides for our needs, so it is necessary for us to come to Him in prayer for His revelation, wisdom and provision.

It is true that at times God will supernaturally move in your life and your purpose when He desires to, but in James 2:14-26 we see that both faith and works together are needed. So it is not only necessary to ask in prayer with faith for what you need, but also to set goals and take action steps in faith to start to move forward.

And as we take steps to pursue our special calling in life. we will have to remain intimately connected with Father, Son and Spirit in order to bear the fruit that we are intended to in our lives and the lives of others. We may bear some fruit on our own, but it may not be the type or amount of fruit that God meant for us, so to truly accomplish His purposes, we must be in relationship and communication with Jesus and be led by the Spirit.

Pray specific and practical prayers for purpose and direction as you progress in pursuing your God-given calling. Ask God for what you need on your path. Seek His will to find purpose and direction. Knock on spiritual doors to open earthly ones to move forward. Consistent and intentional prayer, action, and partnership with God will help you to effectively explore, discover, grow into, and fulfill your purpose to transform your life and make an impact on those you are called to serve.

Thank you so much for this post and for fulfilling your purpose. I found your site yesterday through this blog post. I really need this message and the other resources you provide. I completed the form for a strategy session also.

Good morning I found your post this morning scrolling through my phone I pray daily and I typed subject I want to pray about and yours showed up. God bless you keep up the good work I enjoy reading the word and prayers and your suggestions and comments of other so encouraging thank you.

God designed you with special traits that equip you for a special purpose. Sometimes it takes time to come to complete clarity of purpose, but there are things you can reflect on to help to reveal more. You may find this post of value since it has some questions you can use to dig deeper. -to-use-christian-journaling-to-reveal-your-purpose/

I really appreciate the fact that you as a team have dedicated time and resources to helping people like me find Our way back to the Father thereby finding our purpose and pursuing it. Prayer is the key and I want to say that I really appreciate this and may the Lord bless you all.

This paper reaches out, seeking points of communication between Aboriginal people of Australia, Gregory Bateson and other scholars. My project involves a form of dialogical spark.1 Of course I find points of connection, without which dialogue might slip into the ridiculous, but for me they are not a basis for unity so much as they are provocations. If our encounters situate us on a ground sufficiently shared to become meaningful and sufficiently differentiated to become provocative, what may erupt?

The concept of country is one of the main keys to understanding Aboriginal cosmology and action toward life. Dreamings are the great creative beings who came out of the earth and traveled across the land and sea. The Australian continent is criss-crossed with the tracks of the Dreamings: they were performing rituals, distributing the plants, making the landforms and water, and making the relationships between one place and another, one species and another. They were leaving parts or essences of themselves; they would look back in sorrow; and then continue travelling, changing languages, changing songs, changing identity. They were changing shape from animal to human and back to animal again, and they were becoming ancestral to particular groups of animals and humans (totemic groups). Through their creative actions they demarcated a world of difference and a world of relationships which cross-cut difference. They made the patterns and connections. Responsibility today entails sustaining those patterns and connections.

Dreamings traveled, and they stopped, and now they remain fixed in place, except under special circumstances which I will discuss. They stopped, they changed over into permanent sites or into other living things, and they stayed. Equally, however, they kept going. Dreamings are masters of an art that includes both motion and stasis; they are both here and there, fixed and mobile. They also are both then and now: both origins and contemporary presence. People interact with Dreamings in daily life as they do their hunting, fishing, gathering, visiting, and resting (see Povinelli 1993 for excellent analysis). And people interact with them especially powerfully in ceremonial contexts.

Stories of Dreaming origins invite us to contemplate the relationship between static power and power in motion. The originary earth holds the power of potential life contained within. Origin stories tell us that life contained is life in some sense unfulfilled. Creation overcomes this lack: the earth gave birth to the Dreamings, the Dreamings came forth and walked the earth giving shape, boundaries, connections, law.

It is thus reasonable to say that the life contained within the earth has desire. That desire is to be embodied and mobile. Life wants to go walking around on the surface; it wants to live in the ephemeral world of bodies and motion, as well as in the inside world of containment. Furthermore, it desires pattern and connection; it wants to flourish. Life thus exists as both the enduring potential contained within and as the dynamic and flourishing ephemeral that lives and dies on the surface. This ephemeral world of passion and joy is the form life takes as it actualises itself.

Many ethnomusicologists and anthropologists have found that Aboriginal people assert that ceremonies work to bring Dreaming power and presence into the time, place and bodies of the performers. Different scholars use a range of terms for talking about this process, but Cath Ellis, more than many, seeks to unpack the performative elements that make possible this coming together of ephemeral life and the world creative Dreamings.

In the desert and savanna regions music is performed with voice and the rhythm of clap sticks, clapping hands and thighs, and feet on the ground. Ellis asserts that time is a crucial technique in music, and she analyses the complex interlocking of a multiplicity of patterned elements:

In Bandimi we danced all night. Each segment of song and dance, however, is set apart by a counterpoint of non-dance. Each small song is punctuated by a pause, a break in the music. The rhythms of the song and dance are thus set within a larger oscillation of music and non-music. The non-music interval is dedicated to joking. It is not a break in the ceremony but rather a contrapuntal engagement with the musical portion of the ceremony.6

Ceremony thus works with two interwoven event types: the music and dance is Dreaming Law, and is internally and complexly patterned; the joking is spontaneous. Each joking interval is a qualitative and purposeful withdrawal from the song. Each song is a qualitative and purposeful re-entry into Law.

Joking speaks of the ephemeral: of the spontaneous, the partial, the incomplete, the contingent and that which is (or may be) outside the law. Performance engages Dreaming power as it is contained within the earth; the call is performed in patterns that already are given, are intensely rule-governed, and require proper execution. Music and joking call participants back and forth between the enduring (Earth, Law) and the ephemeral (spontaneous, transient). Each can be seen to be embedded in the dance of the other. The ephemeral draws close to, and withdraws from, enduring creation power which itself approaches and withdraws. This motion captures a mutual embeddedness of the ephemeral in the enduring and the enduring in the ephemeral. Where they meet and flip or interpenetrate, all is iridescent there is an exultant awareness of life in action.
