Father,
My heart is heavy from all the confusion, darkness, and tragedy that seems to surround us every single day and only seems to be growing worse as time goes on. Help remind my heart that this place not my home, but heaven is where I belong. Although I do know You have numbered my days, help me to not take any day for granted. You have a plan for me to fulfill on this earth and that is to tell everyone that comes across my path about the glorious gospel.
When my eyes tend to become too fixated on the temporal, help me shift my focus on what lasts, what you have promised us about eternity with you. Spiritual health supersedes our physical needs and I trust that You will use my trials and loss to remind me where I find my true hope – in Christ alone. I await Your return or when You call me home with great expectancy, but will continue to give You all the glory in all that I say and do until my last breath.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
