Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 25, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: Paul compares our bodies to tents, a familiar image for soldiers who yearn for homecoming.
May God’s promises be the measure of our hope and expectations.
Prayer: God Almighty, we close this brief service with hope in Your promise and faith in Your ability to transform us. We are not overwhelmed by loss or drowning in hopelessness. Nonetheless, we seek Your strength in the coming days as we struggle to deal with what has happened, and we know You will walk with us. We trust You even though we don’t understand fully Your timing or purpose. We know You love us and we thank You for the gift of life and the promise of life eternal through Your Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus, in Whose Name we pray, Amen.
