Lord Jesus, like Anna, we earnestly and prayerfully await Your coming. She saw her prayers answered when Mary and Joseph presented Jesus at the temple. We long for the day the Father will tell You to gather Your children to meet You in the clouds. What a glorious day that will be, Lord. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit, who reminds us to stay ready. The day approaches nearer with every day that the Father allows. We honor His timing, but with John we pray, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” Be glorified in our days between now and then. We pray in the precious name and powerful authority of Jesus, according to the Father’s good and perfect will. Amen.
“Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. ‘In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife.'” (Luke 17: 30-32 NKJV)
