The Kingdom is Closer

Dear Lord thank you for all of the great gifts that you have given us. Some days it is hard to see the good in the world if the news of the world is all presented as being negative, but every day wonderful children are being born, silver haired saints are graduating from the toils of this life to be with You, while still acts of kindness both small and large are being performed in Your name in every corner of this world. Please help us to understand that Your Kingdom"s coming is on Your schedule which is beyond our ability to comprehend. May the things that we try to do work out alright and for the best. In Christ name we pray amen.
