Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 Sovereign Lord in heaven, thank you for the hope you have given us in Jesus, thank you for your precious promises and the hope of eternal glory at your side. Remind us when facing troubles, that they are momentary, O God, that we need to keep our eyes fixed on you and your heavenly and eternal kingdom, I pray, in Jesus' name. Amen
