A Prayer Of Joyful Anticipation

Lord Jesus, I joyfully anticipate with great joy the day of Your return when You will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet You, our Lord and Saviour, in the air, and so shall we ever be with You in Your heavenly kingdom. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus, come. Amen.
