Lord, how we praise You that You are the faithful One. Lord, You make us believe in You and trust in You. Thank You that all the days You have been with us moment by moment.
The Lord does not delay regarding the promise, as some count delay, but is long-suffering toward you, not intending that any perish but that all advance to repentance.

Filling the Blanks (Please double-click the blanks)
With the Lord God, who is eternal, the sense of (time) is compressed a thousandfold compared with man's sense of time. Hence, for the fulfillment of His word, especially the word of His (promise), the crucial matter is not the time but the (fact). Whatever He has promised will sooner or later become a fact.
The Lord's heart is set not on the (time) of the fulfillment of His promise but on His (people), whom He possesses peculiarly as a treasure. His desire is that none of us, His precious redeemed ones, would be (punished) by His governmental judgment but would have a prolonged season to (repent) that we may be spared from His punishment. (See 2 Pet. 3:8 note 2, 9 note 4)
