In the Light of Eternity

Recently our Pastor challenged us to evaluate our prayers in the light of Eternity. He took the example of Paul's letters where he begins with prayers that are profound and focused on things of eternal value rather than the temporal. 

It has been in my heart for awhile now and challenged the way I think and act not just pray. When I evaluate things in terms of the light of eternity, it changes my priorities and in turn that changes my attitude and actions.

It reminds me of the song "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, and the things of the world will fade..." It surprises me how humble, mundane moments in life suddenly have meaning, prayers big and small have purpose and desires/plans are outward looking rather than inward.

Dear Mister God, this is @ina...May my heart be governed by the things that are important in the light of eternity.
