This morning I decided to Google "God"...

Within the top 8 search finds I was surprised to find an array of things. One was of my favorite song writer, John Lennon. Talking of how he doesn't beleive in the Beatles, he only beleives in himself. I didn't take the time to open it for lack of a truer answer.. (from the internet of all places?) So.. I kept going. There I found: http://www.doesgodexist.org

From there I found "the problem of human suffering' tab... I recomend you read it.

There is no prayer=exactly. I simply enjoyed the context and perspective on suffering and how we may view it as Christians.

I also found the article re-iterating something I'd read last week in the Prayer of Jabez book: "He will never send someone to you who you cannot help"... This has helped me to solidify that I *might* know my purpose in this life. To help. Particularily in areas where I can. And it has helped me to clarify that there are areas where despite my best efforts, I am simply not equipped to help. This, I am hoping will serve to help me let go of those instances where I just can only listen and not offer much in terms of experience.

Lord, I ask that you guide me into situations where I can assist others in living a better life. Getting them and myself through rough spots and moving on to be productive people as intended.

or as I read in Jabez:

Oh God and King: please expand my opportunities and my impact in such a way that I touch more lives for your glory. Let me do more for you. Amen
