A Collect to Not Grow Weary in Waiting

Almighty God, who stands outside of the limitations of time, be gracious to us who are bound by the present but long for the future, and grant us patience and faith that we would not become worn down with the waiting for your word to be fulfilled, but would trust in you, knowing your timing and goodness are everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen. “And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.” – Luke 1:45
