A Prayer For An Eternal Perspective

Jesus, it’s clear in Scripture that the attainment of worldly riches can narrow a person’s vision to earth-sightedness. Their sight is fixed upon that which can be experienced only on this side of heaven. But You’ve called us to be farsighted in that we lay down anything that hinders our vision of that which is yet to come in the eternal realm. Our goals in this life reach beyond immediate reward and expand to treasures stored up in heaven. For those entrusted to riches on this side You’ve instructed to be good stewards and thereby further expanding the message of salvation to those far and near. All sacrifices made in this life will bring about abundant reward in the life to come. Help us to be faithful. Amen.
