Jesus, help me use my training on how to win over my struggles with hopelessness. Help me allow this struggle to be a part of my reason for studying and praying over Your Biblical principles. Help me look ahead to all the wonderful blessings, miracles, provisions, and future benefits I am going to receive. Let me see that the principles, truths, and training I receive for overcoming my difficulties with hopelessness, are the same ones that I will use for getting all God’s wonderful blessings, miracles, provisions, and future benefits.

Rev 21:1 (NIV) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. Jesus, make it clear to me that God didn’t give this to me right now because there were some things I need to do to get ready for it. He didn’t want me to be in this new heaven and new earth as a spectator or just a resident. He wanted me to be prepared to be a king as dynamic governmental leader. And He wanted me to be qualified to be a priest as a powerful spiritual leader.

1:5 (AKJV) And from Jesus Christ, Who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Jesus, teach me that as I learn how to win over my problems with hopelessness, I am also learning how to use that training to help others win over their problems, difficulties, struggles, and issues. Show me that once I start using my training and breakthroughs to help others, I am getting hands-on experience for being a king and a priest for my eternal life assignments.

Rev 21:2 (NIV) I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Jesus, help me see that just like my eternal body is going to be incredible, the new heavens, the new earth, and the Holy City, Jerusalem are going to be incredible. Help me see that I am going to be a part of something that is going to be far superior to what I am involved with now. BUT, make it clear to me that my success here is going to have a tremendous effect on who I am, what I am allowed to do, and what kind of king and priest I will be able to be in eternity.

Rev 21:3 (NIV) And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. Jesus, as I learn how to win over my problems with hopelessness, help me see that I am learning EVERYTHING I need to know to get ready for eternity. Show me that You are using this issue to show me how to win at life and in eternity. Teach me that the principles for winning over my issues with hopelessness are the same for all of my spiritual growth. Help me understand that my relationship with God is a major part of my training with You. You are helping me look forward to having an eternal relationship with Him.

Rev 21:4 (NIV) He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Jesus, help me learn how much God cares about my difficulties with hopelessness; let it help me see what He wants for me during my temporary life here and my eternal life there. Make it clear to me that God is an awesome God; and, help me see that it is vital that I get to know Him in all His greatness. As You take me through these studies and prayers, help me love my heavenly Father more and more. Show me that He has great plans for me now and in eternity. Show me that He will help me set my priorities on those things that count for eternity.

2 Pet 3:13-14 (NIV) But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with Him. Jesus, teach me that this “make every effort” is the same as “do what it takes.” If I want to “do what it takes” or “make every effort,” then I will allow You to teach me how to use The Three Keys To All Of Christianity and The Six Biblical Principles to train me, empower me, and help me yield to You. Use these principles to get me ready for the new heaven, the new earth, and my new body.
