2 Corinthians 5:5-9 New International Version (NIV)
5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
Dear Lord, You fashioned me for your purpose. You gave me the Spirit as a deposit and helper that guarantees what is to come. I can always be confident and know that I can live by faith. I can be confident and know that my home is with the Lord. I make it my goal to please you, Lord. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
