GOD PLEDGED A DWELLING FOR US IN HEAVEN
For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.

For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

ALWAYS BE OF GOOD COURAGE
Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--for we walk by faith, not by sight--we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Heavenly Father, in our earthly bodies we groan and are burdened, but we are encouraged, LORD, that we are not stuck in a rut, but live with a purpose--Your purpose-- and look forward to our eternal dwelling in the heavens. Thank You for Your Spirit that You have given to live in us as a pledge of our glorious home in heaven.

May we not only be of good courage, but encourage others as well, especially our lost loved ones, that they too will inherit Your promise of an eternal home in the heavens bought by the blood sacrifice of Your beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank You Father, in Jesus name.

OUR AMBITION
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Father, we desire to be pleasing to You. May we be mindful that we will be recompensed for our deeds in the body, according to what each individual has done, whether good or bad. We want to do good, help us to pass the tests,
KNOWING THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God and hope that we are made manifest in others’ consciences.

Father, may we, Your church persuade our lost loved ones to choose the fear of the Lord. We hope to be made manifest in their consciences. Holy Spirit of God You are at work to convince them of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. May they choose life, we pray.
WE HAVE THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
Heavenly Father, we pray Your Spirit will always give your laborers you send to our lost loved ones an answer in our mouth. Convince our lost loved ones that Your words are the truth and those speaking them are of a sound mind.

We pray the that these laborers be controlled by the love of Christ, for we no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again on our behalf. The Lord Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and that includes our lost loved ones.

We pray our lost loved ones be saved and be a new creature in Christ, the old things passed away and all things become new. These things are from You, Father God, who reconciled us to Yourself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Namely, that You were in Christ reconciling the world to Yourself, not counting their trespasses against them and have committed to us the word of reconciliation.

What responsibility LORD! We want to be faithful to this calling for Your purpose is to save the lost, and we are praying for our lost loved ones that in Christ You reconcile them to Yourself, not counting their trespasses against them, and that they too will be committed the word of reconciliation. They will no longer serve the devil, but serve You, praise God!

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
We are ambassadors for Christ, as though You, Father God, are making an appeal through us to reach the lost and our lost loved ones. Help us Father, with this appeal to beg our lost loved ones on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to You.

You made the Lord Jesus sin who knew no sin to be sin our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him, and we are praying this blessing for our lost loved ones also.

In Jesus name we pray and thank You, amen.
From 2 Corinthians 5
