Not in a bad way, jus wanting, for own selfish reasons, the Lord to come back soon. Is this wrong? Waiting for the Lord to come back and really hoping all your own little problems mean nothing because He will come soon?

No, I'm enjoying life to its fullest, and I'm a non-believer, why try to change anything instead of just embracing it?

The little problems don't bother me. It's the big ones we see in the world everyday that have me hoping for Our Lord to come. Those problems are also the ones that make me think it will not be long now. God's will be done.

Not so that my little things will go away.
But I have waited on Rosh Hashanah every year for the last ten years for the rapture of the church.
Just think of receiving a new and perfect body.
BTW: there is a special crown for all who anxiously await the Lord's return.

I want the Lord to come in His time. And even if I did want Him to come tomorrow....it wouldn't matter. God knows when He will tell Jesus to return for His bride.
And I'm certain it will be soon! We are not promised our next breath, and like a thief in the night, Jesus will return when people are unaware. So we had better be ready!

Sometimes I do. and I don't think this is "wrong" ... it's just human. We are human and think human. (by contrast, God is eternal love and thinks love for us.)
So, when I find myself thinking like this (maybe not exactly like you are, but hopefully there's enough similarity that you can benefit,) I try to remember and focus on three things:
Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that everything is timed according to His plan, (unfortunately not ours....)
and
Ecclesiastes 1:18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
and, finally, what Christ conveyed to the disciples (as recorded by John)
John 16:20-22 the part about: ...now there is pain, and just as in childbirth, that pain will be replaced and exceeded by joy...
I believe that your question is really answering itself if it was just re-phrased to read "Wait for the Lord to come back...." and "really hoping" was replaced by "because He promises"
Hope this helps....in Faith,

Sometimes yeah...
At times I don't want to deal with the cares of tomorrow, though God's Word says I am not to worry about them, and the easiest escape is for Christ to return...but we ought to depend fully on him and glorify him at this moment all the while looking forward to His return.

Alot of us do, but life is short, I guess we'll see that when we are sharing eternity with the Lord. As for little problems, we must remind ourselves that He is concerned with the little things too.
God bless

The Word says to always be ready and waiting for His return. That's not wrong---I myself can't wait for that day---to stand before my Father and worship in his presence for eternity. It is the finish line and I too can't wait to cross it.

On one hand I cannot wait for Jesus to return on the other I have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and I want to see her grow up and I want to have my 50th wedding anniversary with my husband so that is a tough question.
