I’m Lost Without Ministry. Where Do I Go?!

Home / May 2011 / I’m Lost Without Ministry. Where Do I Go?!

After a season of ministry, there can be times of silence in your transition. You may be doing things for God, but it still seems like you’re neither here or there. You feel settled, but not settled…almost…lost. You miss the previous season of ministry, but you know you can’t go back – only forward. Even if you tried, it wouldn’t be the same.

But where do I begin? I don’t have the same ‘title’ or position I once had and nobody knows who I am.

Man and woman of God, continue in the work the Lord called you to accomplish. Your previous position represented a season of your life, and God is moving you into another. For example, if God has given you the gift of pastor/teacher, a specific church position does not make you a pastor, it is a gift given by God (Romans 11:29). God will place people in your life to shepherd them back to Him. Whether these people will be at your job, school, or in the aisles of a supermarket, opportunities will come.

Don’t allow a change in season or position to keep you on the sidelines. There is much work in the Lord’s harvest to be accomplished. Be watchful and prayerful so you can continue to make a difference for God and His people.

Continue in the work God has gifted you to do. The gift God has given you will make room for you and bring you before great men (Proverbs 18:16). When it makes room for you, a space will be made for you to accomplish exactly what God desires you to do…even if there doesn’t seem to be any room around you. The gift of God will make the room. Trust the Lord (Proverbs 3:5-6).
