Holder of all time -
One day is like a thousand years for You, and a thousand years are like one day.
What we perceive to be Your slowness in keeping Your promise to return is Your saving patience. We give thanks that You are patient with us and that You do not want any to perish.
Your day will come.
The day when the heavens pass away, the elements dissolve with fire, and the earth’s actions are disclosed.
The day when a new heavens and a new earth arrive, and righteousness is finally at home.
Help us actively wait for this day that overturns and heals everything. As we wait, may we lead lives of holiness and godliness - lives that hasten Your inbreaking.
In the name of the One whose patience saves us, we pray.
Amen.
