Does My Life Have a Purpose to It?

“Does My Life Have a Purpose to It?” – Have you ever asked yourself that question — not casually, but in the quiet moments when life feels overwhelming, hollow, or unbearably hard?

Maybe you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Maybe you’ve tried to push through, to keep going for the sake of others. Maybe you’ve even told yourself that people care—but deep down, you’re still wondering:

You’re not alone in asking these questions.

We’ve spoken to many people here in Peterborough who are wrestling with those same thoughts—some quietly, some desperately. The truth is, these questions might be some of the most important you’ll ever ask.

The pain you’re carrying… the emptiness you feel… even the thoughts you’re afraid to speak out loud—they’re not signs that your life has no purpose, they might be the very place your purpose begins to stir.

When life doesn’t make sense anymore, and nothing feels solid or safe, it’s natural to start questioning everything—including your existence.

For some, this struggle shows up as anxiety or depression; For others, it becomes a quiet (or loud) ache: What am I even doing here?

The truth is, that ache often isn’t about giving up. It’s about longing—for meaning, for connection, for a sense that your life actually matters.

You are not weak for feeling this way. You are human. Asking these questions could be the first step to finding real answers.

Right now, you might feel like a mistake, like you’re too far gone, too broken, too tired to have a future. But hear this clearly:

You are not an accident.

You are not beyond hope.

And your purpose is not lost.

The Bible says, “We are God’s masterpiece… created to be in Christ Jesus to do the good things He planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10).

That might feel far off right now—but it’s still true. Your life was formed with care, not for performance, not for perfection…..but for love, relationship, and grace. You don’t have to fix yourself to be valuable. You already matter.

If you’ve come to a place where you’re no longer reaching out to family or friends… where you’re keeping everything inside… please know this:

You don’t have to stay silent.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t even need to be sure about faith, but if you’re willing—even just a whisper—you could pray:

“God, if You’re real… show me why I’m here.”

You don’t have to fake it. You don’t have to be strong. Just be open.

God meets people in the middle of the mess, in the dark, in the doubt, in the silence and His response isn’t shame or judgement—it’s compassion.
