Help Us to live these lives that You've given us in light of eternity and not in response to the temporary affairs of this fallen world.

Father, I bless and praise You for being the Sovereign King who reigns in the midst of the chaos of this world.

God, You reign over the affairs of heaven and earth. You set up earthly leaders and remove them.

The Lover of our souls will no longer seem distant when we no longer have to deal with this lustful flesh, this hostile world, and satan.

Thank You for willingly leaving Your throne to plummet to the lowest of depths in order to redeem a people for God by Your shed blood.

God, You are causing all things to work towards the return of Jesus Christ. May we be a people who are preparing and ready for His return.

God, You are not the author of evil... In Your sovereignty, evil does not circumvent Your eternal purpose. You even use it to fulfill it.

Jesus, we long for the day when Your Kingdom fully comes... May we fulfill our calling as Your ambassadors in this world until You return.

God, in light of Your love for us, what You've done, who we are in Jesus, Your power and presence, and Christ's return help us live for You.

Sovereign God, Your Kingdom agenda is hitched up to Jesus and no one else. He alone is the hope of nations and the Savior of the world.

Jesus, thank You for inaugurating the Kingdom of God in Your death and resurrection yet we long for the fullness of it when You return.
