Sometimes, just being in this world can be depressing. In a world full of war, disease, and evil, it is easy to despair. Yet God invites us to see beyond the brokenness of this world and to look ahead to the promise of eternity. A new Heaven and new Earth, a dwelling place of righteousness, awaits all who believe. Let us cling to the hope of this promise.
And we pray:
Lord, the burdens of life and the trials of this world break our hearts. We are saddened when we see evil running amok and people suffering. Thank You, Lord, for preparing a better place for us, for promising a new dwelling. Teach me to live in this hope, that it may be a beacon and light to others in this fallen world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
