A warm reflection on Chapter 3 of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren exploring what’s really driving your decisions (fear, guilt, resentment, materialism, or approval) and how God’s purpose brings clarity, focus, meaning, and peace. Includes Scripture and practical questions to help you live with disciplined trust and renewed direction.

This reflection is for the woman who’s doing “all the right things” and still feels a quiet, holy restlessness underneath it all. Anchored in Ephesians 1:11 and Romans 8:6 (MSG), I’m exploring what it means to stop manufacturing purpose and start receiving it—stretching my attention toward God instead of the noise of self-focus, achievement, and constant comparison. Through The Purpose Driven Life, I’m learning that true freedom isn’t found in doing more, but in surrendering deeper, aligning with God’s design, and letting Him define significance from the inside out.

Today I’m starting a new chapter—one marked by a simple, sacred commitment: the next 40 days are devoted to discovering God’s purpose for my life. Inspired by the introduction to The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, I’m shifting from self-discovery to God-discovery, asking not “What do I want?” but “What does God want?” If you’ve been feeling lost, restless, or hungry for clarity and direction, I’m inviting you to walk this journey with me—one day, one chapter, one prayer at a time.
