attention during pandemic: WHO”

Philippians 1:22-25

“If by continuing to live I can do more worthwhile
work, then I am not sure which I should choose. I am
pulled in two directions. I want very much to leave this
life and be with Christ, which is a far better thing;

but for your sake it is much more important
that I remain alive. I am sure of this, and so I
know that I will stay. I will stay on with you
all, to add to your progress and your joy in the
faith”

1 Corinthians 9:26 NLT

“So I run with purpose in every step.

I am not just shadowboxing.”

1. Purpose gives meaning to life.

Philippians 3:12

“I press on to take hold of that for which Christ
Jesus took hold of me.”

Philippians 3:12

“I press on to take hold of that for which Christ
Jesus took hold of me.”

“Without God, life has no purpose,
and without purpose, life has no
meaning.”

“The greatest tragedy is not death. The
greatest tragedy is to live without a
purpose.”

2. Purpose gives you DIRECTION

“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the
courage to seek those answers that continues to give
meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in
despair, wondering why you were the one who was led
towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful
that you are strong enough to survive it.”

-J.D. Stroube

“Clarify your purpose. What is the why behind everything
you do? When we know this; it is very empowering and
