Katie's prayer: Kutless' "Sea of Faces"

I was sitting in a talk one time when I heard the speaker explain how she thought when she was little (and still does think) that everyone is on this earth for a purpose. Your purpose on this earth might be as big as curing cancer or as small as smiling at somone. She knew a lady who came back to the church after 30 years because while working as a waitress, she noticed a guy praying before their meal. That guy's purpose, maybe or maybe not his only purpose, was to help that lady to go back to church, whether he knew it or not.

Often I wonder about what my purpose in life is. Why am I here? Sometimes I worry that my purpose is being forgotten about. God is kinda forgetting about my life and the purpose for my life. There are other lives and other purposes more important than mine. Today's song reminds me that's not true.
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world, lost in a Sea of Faces.

God's not forgetting about me. Maybe it's just not my time for anything big yet. Or maybe I've made an impact and I just don't even realize it yet. Maybe my purpose is smaller than I think.
