TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for your unwavering love and protection. Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they not only have life but have it abundantly. Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18
