A Prayer for Monday, March 18, 2013

Move Up (Twenty-Ninth Day of Lent)

O God,

We acknowledge and affirm that heaven is our destination and that becoming Christ-like is our goal; we also acknowledge and affirm that we are not there yet and that we do not yet live as the completely mature children of God that we will one day and forever be.

Help us to keep our focus on heaven so that we will be constantly moving up toward the place where we will be everything we are meant to be and so that we will always be becoming a more helpful presence here and now.

Help us to keep our eyes on Christ so that we will be constantly moving up toward who we can be in him and so that we will always be becoming a more hopeful presence in the lives of those around us.

Amen.
