Some questions pierce so deeply they feel dangerous to say aloud.
Why was I ever born?
This is not the voice of rebellion—it is the sound of a soul in pain. Scripture does not silence this question. God sanctifies it. From Jeremiah’s tears to Job’s ashes, the Bible preserves honest lament as holy ground. In this message, we follow the cry of despair through Scripture and discover that the God who formed us in the womb is not threatened by our anguish—He meets it with mercy.
This teaching walks with those who feel weary of life, burdened by loss, or haunted by the question of purpose, and it points us to the God who raises the dead.
If you’ve ever whispered this question through tears, you are not alone—and you are not faithless.
Jeremiah cried, “Cursed be the day on which I was born”—and God did not reject him.
Job lamented his birth—and heaven recorded his words.
God prefers honest prayer over polished silence. Lament is not unbelief; it is faith stretched thin yet still reaching upward. This message is an invitation to bring your pain to God without pretense, knowing He can bear the weight of your sorrow.
Before Jeremiah ever questioned his existence, God had already spoken purpose over his life:
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”
You are not an accident. You are not a cosmic mistake.
You were known, woven, and appointed by God before your first breath.
Even when despair clouds your vision, Scripture reminds us that God’s design precedes our pain. The same Lord who allowed lament also declared purpose. This is where sorrow meets sovereignty.
Hope is not denial—it is defiance.
When Paul despaired of life itself, he learned to rely “not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.”
Jesus Himself entered our deepest lament on the cross so that our despair would not have the final word. The question “Why was I ever born?” finds its answer at Calvary and the empty tomb. Christ bore our anguish so that our lives—even our suffering—might be gathered into resurrection glory.
Bring your pain to God.
Remember your divine origin.
Call His mercies to mind each morning.
Rely on resurrection power—not your own strength.
God welcomes honest lament, affirms His purpose from the womb, and meets despair with steadfast mercy—so we learn to rely on Him who raises the dead.

Beloved, your birth was not a mistake—it was intention.
The God who welcomed lament then welcomes you now. Bring Him your questions. Lay down your despair. And trust this truth: He who raises the dead will also raise you.
“Great is Your faithfulness.”
