Re:Verse passage – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (day six)
But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Perhaps the most basic reason for prayer is that God does; he does all the work. He strengthens, he guards, he does. Paul believed that God had a vested interest in preserving the Thessalonian church-the full expression of God’s love resulting in the spread of the Gospel.
Remember, we pray because God is faithful. He is faithful to do above and beyond what we ask for his namesake. There is no greater commitment than that.
Church, we pray because we are in good hands. God does. He is committed to finishing what he has started.
