In our teens and twenties, at introspective moments, we ask ourselves the hard questions "Why am I here?" "What was I put on earth for?" In later life, at various rooms of our house, we ask the same questions, "Why am I here?" "What on earth did I come in here for?" I have learned to stay put and wait patiently for the answer to reveal itself. I am invariably in the right room, I just don't know why. If the struggle to find your purpose in young life could be described as angst, I will call struggle of later life "agst". By then most of us have settled the issue of why God put us on the planet, we just can't remember why He put us in this particular room. We need the time that the young might have spent in contemplative naval gazing to contemplate why we picked up this ______? and what we intended to do with it. We are not shallow, we are deep or, at least, thick, that is why it is hard for us to locate our navals.
In the end the answers for both angst and agst are much the same, use the thing we find in our hand, in the place where God has put us, in the way He brings to mind, for God's glory.
