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.
