This is so really needed for my life at this moment in time . Colossians , chapter 3 , verse 1 . Since then , you have received christ and been raised with christ , set your heart on things above , where christ is seated at the right hand of god father . In the name of jesus , I pray for all the listeners across the world .

Father , I want to set my heart on things above Lord . Help me to set my heart on things above this earth , lord , not to keep looking at this materialistic way of living , not to look on the socials , not to look , dear God , what is in front of me , but to look what is above me . Lord , I come to you today as a Bible-believing , spirit-filled believer , and I bring my brothers and sisters into the throne room of grace and we stand at the foot of the cross . Today and , lord , we say thank you that we've been raised with Christ , according to the word of God , according to Colossians , chapter 3 , verse 1 , we thank you that we have been raised with Christ and we're setting our hearts on things above , where Christ is .

Speaker 0The author , the perfecter of our faith , lord . Our heart , lord , is longing for the heartbeat of God . We're longing . Help me to make this a life application right now .
