But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
- 2 Peter 3:8-9

Merciful Lord, thank You for Your patient heart toward us. Calibrate our sense of time to Yours, and open our eyes to see that Your apparent delay is Your mercy making room for the lost.
