Hello, Jon; Good to talk with you. Your'e not alone. Most of us at some point in time, begin to wonder just what purpose we have in life.
I scrambled many years for what I thought would bring me happiness. I was strictly a materialistic, put self first slob. Once I had most of those things, I discovered that material things did not bring me happiness or a sense of accomplishment.
The real thing, is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You do not have to be good enough, or pure enough before you can invite him into your life. He does all the work. You simply must learn to trust him with your life and then accept what ever happens as his will for you.
Its not all peaches and cream. God does not promise us an end to our problems, only that he will supply us with our needs and the strength to face anything that this world will bring our way.
What do we receive from him? Eternal life, peace of mind, joy, strength to do what he expects of us.
