Trusting God’s Plan and Purpose for Your Life

My relationship with God plays a vital role in the process of healing and growth. 

I believe God has a plan for our lives. Not a small, play-it-safe plan—but one filled with potential we can’t even begin to fathom. I believe He created each of us with the capacity to grow, to give, to love deeply, and to live fully. And I believe He wants us to love and help each other along the way.

But I also believe this: there is an enemy who wants to derail that plan.

The devil has one job: to steal, kill, and destroy. And he is persistent. 

(John 10:10) “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.” (NIV)

He’ll use whatever he can to interrupt our becoming—betrayal, abandonment, abuse, addiction, doubt, confusion. The things that break us. The things that make us feel forgotten, unworthy, or permanently damaged. He’s a master manipulator and a liar. And quite frankly: so are we.  We tell ourselves stories that aren’t true. Stories that we’re not good enough. We’ll never get that job. We’ll never have this or that. We’re not worthy. They’re all lies. Low-frequency lies. 

But God never leaves us. Not once. Not ever.

He allows us to walk through painful experiences not because He enjoys our suffering, but because He knows what those experiences can shape in us. He gives us free will. We are not robots. We are people with the power to choose. To take action. Self-correct. To heal.

It starts with the willingness to look in the mirror. To exercise a little critical self-reflection. To recognize the patterns that keep showing up and realize: no one else can change them but you.

For me, faith is not just a belief. It’s a relationship. It’s conversations with God. It’s feeling His presence, and a higher vibration. 

I talk to God every day. I ask questions. I listen. I study His word because I want to know His voice—and I want to know how to tell the difference between what He’s saying and what my own fear might be whispering. That takes time. It takes practice. And it’s worth it. 

And sometimes? God sends people.

A kind word. A timely book. A therapist. A stranger. A friend. A nudge from someone who doesn’t even know they’re playing the role of an angel.

Scripture tells us we are assigned angels. (Hebrews 1:14 MSG: “Isn’t it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation?”) I believe some of them walk beside us, visible. Others operate quietly, invisibly. But they show up. Especially when we ask God to guide us.

When we pray, meditate, and stay open to the guidance He sends—through people, through scripture, through intuition—we begin to notice the breadcrumbs. We start picking up the tools placed in front of us: the book someone lends us, the advice someone offers, the idea that keeps nudging us in quiet moments.

And slowly, we become.

We become a person with a purpose. The one with clarity, with joy, with confidence that comes not from ego, but from alignment with our creator.

We begin to trust ourselves not because we’re perfect, but because we’re grounded in something bigger.

Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) reminds us: “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”

We learn to give and receive unconditional love.

We begin to surrender old beliefs—the ones that never belonged to us in the first place. The voices that told us we were too much, not enough, unlovable, or broken.

Romans 12:2 (MSG) says it like this: “Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.”

We feel the relief of knowing that anything is possible.

And we remember this simple, beautiful truth: it’s never too late to get started.

No matter where you are, what you’ve been through, or how lost you feel—you can still step into your purpose. Today. Now.

Because God isn’t finished. Not with you. Not with your story.

I feel like I’m just beginning to live. And the relief that it’s not too late is worth celebrating! I hope you know it’s never too late for you to step into your purpose and God’s plan for your life.
