Main thought: This prayer for a full life looks to the enduring presence of God from eternity to eternity. We desire long life here, but dwell secure in the unending life of heaven.
Psalm 102:24–28
“O my God,” I say, “take me not away
in the midst of my days—
you whose years endure
throughout all generations!”
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end.
The children of your servants shall dwell secure;
their offspring shall be established before you.
Prayer
Thanks be to You, Lord Jesus, because in the fullness of time You came and redeemed us from the power of that armed strong man. Build Your kingdom of grace among us, make us free from the bonds of sin and the fear of death, and when the appointed time has come, receive us graciously out of this vale of tears into Your everlasting kingdom of glory. Amen.
