2 Thessalonians 3 - Praying God's Word

Please read 2 Thessalonians 3.

Meditate on verse 11.

For we hear that some among you

are leading an undisciplined life,

 doing no work at all but acting liking busybodies.

There were lazy people in the Thessalonian church, not working, mooching off of others, and sticking their nose in other people’s business when they needed to get their own business in order to buy food (vs. 10-12). If this describes somebody you know, ask the LORD to give you the courage of Paul to speak God’s truth, so they can grow-up in Christ. Do not grow weary in doing good as you disciple the undisciplined; it will yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness in their life and yours (v. 13; Hebrews 12:11).

This chapter starts with a prayer request and ends with a prayer. Pray those words from 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5, 16, and 18 as a faithful, prayerful

watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please let Your Word spread rapidly and be glorified. 

Rescue __________ and me from perverse and evil men,

 for not all have faith.  But, You are faithful; strengthen

and protect us from the evil one. 

May we do and continue to do what You command.

 Direct our hearts into Your love and steadfastness.

 LORD of peace, continually grant us peace

 in every circumstance. LORD, be with us!  LORD, Jesus Christ,

 may Your grace be with us.

In Your name, Jesus~”
