Heavenly Father,
In the midst of change and the passing nature of this world, we come before You, acknowledging Your eternal presence and timeless truth. Just as the fig tree blossoms, signaling the advent of new birth, may we recognize that amidst the end of things, there's the birth of newness.
Grant us the wisdom to perceive the signs of Your kingdom drawing near, not with fear but with anticipation and hope. Help us comprehend that the end of this world signals the beginning of a new order—of holiness, justice, truth, and peace in Your eternal kingdom.
Though the concept of the end times may provoke anxiety, may we find solace in the assurance of Your Word, which stands unshaken amidst the passing of heaven and earth. Help us cling not to the transient aspects of this world but to the enduring truth of Your teachings.
Guide us to eagerly await the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness dwells, and instill within us a steadfast commitment to hold onto Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word, who remains constant through all ages.
In this understanding, may our hearts be filled not with dread but with a firm resolve to abide in Your Word, knowing that in Your eternal presence, we will reign with You for all eternity.
Amen.
