Pray
For Us
As for other matters,
brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread
rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be
delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord
is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. We
have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the
things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s
perseverance.

Thessalonians 3:1-5
A missionary goes
through a lot to spread the Good News. It may be a bad neighborhood, a language
barrier, a bad home, stomach viruses, or even bad roadways. The language
barrier can bring loneliness.
The apostle Paul
experienced danger and hardship as a missionary. He was imprisoned,
shipwrecked, and beaten. It is no surprise that his letters contained pleas for
prayer.
Do you know people who
need supernatural help as they spread the good news of Christ?
Intercede
for others in prayer; God’s throne is always accessible.
