A Prayer About Heaven

A prayer about Heaven

When I look forward to being with God forever

Lord,

You have planted within me a desire for more than just this life. I was created for something that is missing from this world, and I yearn for it. You made me in your image, with eternal value, so nothing but you, the eternal God, can truly satisfy this longing. Thank you for giving me glimpses—through nature, art, and relationships—of the perfect world that will be found only in heaven. I look forward with gladness to the day when you will restore the earth to the way it was when you first created it. I praise you because eternity will be a never-ending exploration of heaven’s beauty and your character, and I will never tire of what you have prepared for me.

[Jesus said,] “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.” John 14:1-3
