2 Peter 3:9 (NIV) 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 (NIV) 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Romans 10:1-4 (NIV) Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Prayer reveals the desires of our Prayer our heart with God’s heart
