Gracious and Holy God, thank you for renewing my soul every day. Thank you for giving me the vision of what is to come in the permanent and eternal hope in Christ, Jesus the Messiah. Because of this we stand firm; we do not lose heart. We praise you for blessing us with daily refreshing in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.

“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self his being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV)
