Lord Jesus, please keep me focused on what’s truly important in this dash of time we call life. Please remind me daily of this undeniable truth: one nanosecond after I leave this life, it won’t matter a hill of beans to me who was elected president of the United States in November 2016. Thank you, my Abba Father.
For our present troubles are small
and won’t last very long.
Yet they produce for us a glory
that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now;
rather, we fix our gaze on things
that cannot be seen.
For the things we see now will soon be gone,
but the things we cannot see will last forever.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
