I do not pray that You should take them out of the world but that You should keep them from the evil one. John 17:15
Blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. Phil 2:15
How often have we prayed for Jesus to return - quickly! Maybe even "Now would be a good time, Lord!"
Depending on your view of heaven, the existence or absence of suffering in this life - you may or may not be anxious for His return.
Regardless of our motivation or desires, as long as we are alive, we have a purpose here. The world has always been "crooked and perverse" and the darker it becomes, the brighter we are to shine! It's not about winning the argument, or even conquering evil - Jesus has already won the Victory!
It's about bringing honor and glory to our heavenly Father.
Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Mat 5:16
