Faith and doubts
Existential emptiness
Feeling that life has no meaning or direction, even when everything seems fine.
What the Bible can tell you
"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
Ecclesiastes 1:2
Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:11
But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
A human reading
The book of Ecclesiastes expresses that emptiness honestly. What it proposes is to seek what has real value. If the emptiness persists, talk with a professional or someone you trust.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
