O Lord, the world rushes on in its small affairs, people with no time for you or for others, no patience to hear the word of truth because they are living a lie.
Keep me from going that way. Make me a crier of good news. Praise to you for showing me eternal glory. Your mercy and sovereignty have brought this gift.
Thank you for the peace of great hope, for living in the moment because we have heaven, for joy in the power of the Scriptures to save.
