Day 12 - Patience - 2 Peter 3:9

 

Day 12

Patience

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV): "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

 

Abba Father, in the name of Jesus, in reverence, we approach Your throne, guided by the assurance found in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Lord, Your promises are true, and Your patience is beyond measure. In a world marked by haste, Your longsuffering stands as a testament to Your boundless love. You desire that none should perish, but that all would come to repentance and experience the gift of eternal life.

We thank You for Your patient love that waits for each wandering soul. Your desire is for reconciliation and redemption. Grant us the grace to align our hearts with Your will, that we may be ambassadors of Your patience and bear witness to Your saving love.

May we, in turn, extend the same patience and love to those around us, reflecting the heart of our compassionate Savior, Jesus. Thank You for Your enduring love and for the promise of salvation found in You.

In the name of Jesus, our Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
