God of steadfastness and
encouragement,
grant us patience as we
wait for your kingdom;
and encourage us to
serve you in kingdom-like living.
However long it may take
for the peoples of the world
to tear down the
barriers that separate nation from
nation, and to open
highways that lead to peace
and harmony, may we work
toward the goal.
We pray you, hasten the
day when all
the earth will join
together and
make a joyful noise to
you.
