A Prayer for the Eternal vs. Temporary

Cherise McAdoo Season 8 Episode 6

Have you ever felt like you were focusing on the wrong things? Or maybe felt like you were focusing too heavily on what was happening right in front of you that you weren’t preparing for what’s to come?

2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (NLT) reminds us that what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. So often we become consumed by what surrounds us—our circumstances, distractions, or timelines—and end up making short-term decisions with long-term consequences.

We wait to get ourselves together as if time is promised, pouring more energy into what’s happening around us than into seeking Heaven’s perspective. This prayer is a call to shift our focus: to release what fades, lean into what lasts, and trust God’s eternal plan.
