Father in Heaven, Thank You for the hope we have in Jesus Christ. In a world filled with groaning, uncertainty, and weariness, remind us that this life is a preparation for the rest of our lives.
Teach us to see our bodies as tents and help us fix our eyes on the eternal home You’ve prepared for us.
Strengthen our hearts with the promise of heaven, renew our spirits day by day, and give us courage to walk by faith, not by sight. Keep us from losing heart and help us live with joyful expectation of all that is to come.
