Have you ever spent time in prayer wondering about why you were created? A few years ago, I (Sonya) was inspired to do just that during a revival service. This is what I came up with:
I was created to inhale His Holy breath. I was created to leave my land and begin a journey to a new land full of hope and promise. I was created to serve the High Priest and learn His laws and decrees. I was created to trust in the light when life’s path is dark and all I can see is the pillar of fire. I was created to let His voice speak so all men can be drawn to Him. I was created to be brave and courageous — to seize the Promised Land to which He has brought me. I was created to have His law written on my heart. I was created to believe His prophecy. I was created to be redeemed by His blood. I was created to be a part of His work, to rebuild broken lives and wounded hearts. I was created to sing His praises. I was created to walk with Him through all seasons of life. I was created to seek His wisdom. I was created to seek after Him. I was created to allow Him to be the lover of my soul. I was created to seek His peace and to offer it to others. I was created to see Him in the fiery furnaces of life – to be willing to remain in the fire and be refined. I was created to see Him as an open door — my escape from sin. I was created to believe that He is faithful in all things at all times. I was created to join Him in the missionary call. I was created to embrace the Holy Spirit’s power. I was created to be cradled in His arms. I was created to walk in His promise of peace. I was created to respond to the call for revival.
I was created to soar when my journey causes me to be weak. I was created to worship Messiah. I was created for the fire from Heaven to change me. I was created to be seen by the Father’s eyes of mercy and grace. I was created to be bathed in love, to stand in the shadow of the cross, so that I could bend my knees before the throne of grace and forgiveness. I was created to have a servant’s heart. I was created to be a worker not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. I was created to trust the Master’s heart when I did not understand the movement of his hands. I was created to hear the Bridegroom say, “Come, my bride. It is time for the wedding feast.” I was created for everlasting praise and worship of my King. I was created for eternity.
