A Scripture and a Prayer: “Jesus Promised”

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:2-3)

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, as we contemplate these words of promise You spoke, may they sink deep into our souls and spirits, revealing Your incomparable love and eternal hope. In this chaotic and confusing world, filled with strife, may these words continue to remind us of the safe haven You have provided for us and of the one that awaits us in heaven once this life on earth has ended.

And Lord Jesus, may Your words encourage us when we’re faced with the various storms life brings, and help us, Lord, to let go of the promises of this world so that we can cling to You and Your promises. In this, help us understand the sacrifice You made as You conquered sin and death and provided the way for us to dwell with You forever in Your heavenly kingdom, in mansions especially designed for us. And it is in Your name we ask. AMEN
