Praying from 2 Corinthians 4:18. Themes: Faith, Eternal Perspective, Transience.

Dear God, help us to focus on the things that are not seen rather than the things that are visible to us. We know that the things we see are temporary, but the things we cannot see are eternal. Please give us the strength and wisdom to keep our eyes fixed on the eternal things that truly matter. Help us to trust in your plan and to have faith in the unseen. Amen.

Verse: while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to focus on the things that are not seen, as they are eternal, rather than on the things that are seen, which are temporary.
