2 Corinthians 4: 18So 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.

Revelation 21: 3I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.a 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

Everything here is temporary, our flesh, our jobs, our possessions – everything.  When our spirits go to heaven, we will live life the way it was meant to be – sin free, all of our godly desires met, the most incredible life (better than what we could have imagined for ourselves on earth).

So, we pray for an eternal mindset where we can live totally and completely submitted to God and focused on Him and fulfilling his purpose in the earth, because this is not our home.
