Please read 2 Thessalonians 2.

Meditate on verses 11-13.
For this reason, God will send upon them a
deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
in order that they all may be judged
who did not believe the truth but took pleasure in wickedness.
But we should always give thanks to God for
you, brethren beloved by the LORD, because God has
chosen you from the beginning for salvation
through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
What a sobering contrast between those who do not believe the truth and those who are saved through faith in the Truth! Those who take pleasure in wickedness are so deceived they believe lies. But, those who receive God’s love of the truth are chosen and beloved by Him. Those who do not believe God’s truth will be judged; those who love the truth of God will gain the glory of the LORD Jesus Christ (vs. 10-14).
It seems like an easy choice to make. Pray for God to remove the deluding influence from those who need to be chosen and beloved by Him. Pray for them to choose to believe the truth. Pray 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“God, please make ___________ Your beloved.
Choose them for salvation through sanctification by
the Spirit and faith in the truth. Call them through the
Gospel that they may gain Your glory, LORD Jesus Christ.
Make ____________ and me stand firm and hold
to the traditions we were taught. LORD Jesus Christ
and God our Father, thank You for loving us
and giving us eternal comfort and good hope by grace.
Please comfort and strengthen our hearts
in every good work and word.
In Your name, Jesus~”
