A prayer:

Lord, would You make it increasingly clear to me what of this world will subside that I may learn to treasure the things that won't. Even so, teach me to hide things away in heaven.

When we bring to God our desire to know him more, what we find is that he would, more than often, lead us to the lowly, the humble, the little, the poor. Note them, recognize them, engage with them. For theirs is the kingdom. They are those with whom God is near.
