In your delay, Lord, strengthen us so we can endure until the end, to see your salvation and testify of the kingdom. That we would discern the times. Matthew 24:14, Matthew 16:3, Matthew 25:5
Thanksgiving
You are coming, we don’t know when, but you are coming. While we wait, we devote ourselves to prayer with an alert mind and thankful heart. Matthew 25:10 &13, Colossians 4:2
