In this message from the “You Are What You Eat” series, we continue our focus on the fruit of the Spirit through peace.

God has given each of us purpose, but fulfilling that purpose should never require us to sacrifice the peace of God. We can have purpose without anxiety, ambition without losing our peace, goals without making them our god, and work hard without allowing our work to become our identity.
“Purpose Without Panic” reminds us to stop comparing our assignment to someone else’s, remain faithful in the season God has placed us in, and trust Him with the outcome. Purpose is often discovered through ordinary faithfulness living responsibly, tending to our own assignment, and allowing God to direct our steps.

You don’t need everyone’s approval you need God’s direction. You don’t have to compete; you simply need to complete the assignment God has given you. Bring your dreams, plans, and ambitions to Him, and trust that the same God who gave you purpose will also give you the peace to pursue it.
