A Prayer to Long for Heaven | Your Daily Prayer

This heartfelt devotional and prayer will gently guide your heart to what Scripture promises: Heaven is real, and it’s worth longing for. When this life feels overwhelming or your heart grows heavy with grief, loss, or weariness—God invites you to set your eyes on the eternal hope found in Him.

Through Scripture reflections on Philippians 3:20, Revelation 21:4, and 2 Corinthians 4:18, this prayer helps realign your heart with the promise of heaven—where every tear will be wiped away, and every longing fulfilled in God’s presence.

Father God,
In this life filled with trouble and distraction, remind us that our true home is with You.
Help us to long not for fleeting comfort, but for Your eternal glory.
Teach our hearts to hope in heaven—not as escape, but as assurance.
Fix our eyes on Jesus, our living hope.
Until that glorious day comes, help us live with purpose, peace, and anticipation.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
