Finding your calling isn’t about chasing a dream. It’s about discovering God’s purpose for your life. Here are 10 grounded ways to do just that:
1. Surrender First
Until you surrender your plans, you’ll struggle to hear God’s.
> Romans 12:2 – God’s will becomes clear when you renew your mind and submit fully.
2. Ask Boldly
Your purpose isn’t hidden—you just need to ask.
> James 1:5 – Wisdom is yours for the asking.
3. Identify Your Gifts
Your calling often lines up with your skills.
> 1 Peter 4:10 – Every believer has a gift. Use it.
4. Follow the Burden
What you can’t ignore is often what you’re meant to fix.
> Nehemiah 1:4 – Purpose is born in holy frustration.
5. Be Faithful in the Now
Don’t wait for a grand assignment. Start small, start now.
> Luke 16:10 – Little obedience leads to big purpose.
6. Let Peace Guide You
Peace isn’t just a feeling—it’s a signal.
> Colossians 3:15 – Peace helps you discern direction.
7. Look at the Fruit
Does it grow life in you and others?
> John 15:5 – A God-calling is a fruitful calling.
8. Step Out Despite Fear
You’re not always going to feel “ready.”
> Jeremiah 1:7 – Obedience is more important than confidence.
9. Check It with Scripture
If it goes against God’s Word, it’s not from Him.
> 2 Timothy 3:16 – God won’t call you to compromise.
10. Seek Godly Counsel
Don’t figure it out alone.
> Proverbs 11:14 – Wise voices help steer the ship.
Final Word:
You don’t have to “find” your calling like it’s lost. You just need to follow Jesus, and He will reveal it step by step.
