A Prayer for Purpose and Calling

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:10 — “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Prayer Devotional

Each of us is crafted by God with purpose and meaning. The Apostle Paul reminds us that we are God’s workmanship—designed for good works that He prepared ahead of time. Discovering and stepping into that calling requires listening, faith and obedience.

Sometimes purpose feels clear and exciting; other times it feels confusing or stalled. Yet even in waiting or uncertainty, God is at work—preparing us, shaping us, and aligning our hearts to His plan. Purpose is not just for the “big moments,” it’s found in daily faithfulness and small acts of obedience.

Prayer

Father, thank You for creating me with intention and for calling me to a unique purpose. You know the plans You have for me—plans to prosper, to give hope, and to bring glory to Your name. Help me to walk in them with confidence and humility.

Lord, reveal the next step You want me to take. Open doors of opportunity, soften my heart to Your voice, and prepare me for the works You’ve set aside for me. Where I feel unsure or inadequate, remind me that You equip me and empower me.

May my life reflect Your purpose and bring honour to Your name. Let me not waste the gifts You’ve given, but use them for Your kingdom. Guide my path, strengthen my resolve, and lead me into the fullness of all You have prepared. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
