“And the Lord direct your hearts unto the patient waiting for Christ.” — 2nd Thessalonians 3:5
Let us not neglect to pray this prayer for our brethren whenever we can. Though our faith and works may be commendable, we cannot rely on yesterday’s victories. Our inward man must be renewed day by day, hour by hour. All of creation groans alongside us for the revelation of the sons of God. The scriptures tells us that ye have need of patience. We need patience as much as we need diligence and zeal for good works. We shall reap in due season if we faint not. A day can seem like a thousand years or a thousand years as but a day, if our hearts are directed unto patient waiting for our Lord. Grant us, O Lord, the patience of the saints.
“But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.” — Psalm 52:8-9
