Midday Prayers 2019 :
Listen, observe act- In step with God
April – Promise of eternity
Thursday: Vision of eternity
Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
All-seeing God,
lift our gaze beyond the present.
Flood the eyes of our hearts with light
and expand our eternal vision.
We fix our eyes on Jesus,
who endured the cross, for the joy set before him;
everlasting glory at the right hand of God.
We too would look beyond
the trials of the here and now.
To live our lives in the light of eternity,
for the joy set before us;
everlasting pleasures at the right hand of God.
Amen
