Pray for Brethren in Need
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you. (2 Thessalonians 3:1)
- Missionaries need prayer.
- The apostle Paul experienced danger and hardship as a missionary.
- He was imprisoned, shipwrecked, and beaten.
- It was no surprise that his letters contained pleas for prayer.
- He asked the believers in Thessalonica to pray for success in spreading the gospel.
- He prayed that God’s Word would run swiftly and be glorified.
- He prayed that God would deliver him from unreasonable and wicked men (2 Thessalonians 3:2).
- Paul knew he would need to open his mouth boldly and declare the gospel.
- Do we know people who need supernatural help as they spread the good news of Christ?
- Let us remember Paul’s appeal, and pray for our brethren in need.
- Let us intercede for them before the throne of our powerful God.
- Let us intercede for others in our prayers.
- God’s throne is always accessible.

The Good Shepherd
Jacob fled to the country of Syria;
Israel served for a spouse,
And for a wife he tended sheep.
(Hosea 12:12)
Jacob toiled for his wife.
Even more toilsome was the Lord Jesus Christ while on earth to save His people.
The Lord Jesus Christ watched over all His sheep.
He had lost none of them.
And he was always found in prayer wrestling for them.
Laban was harsh and hostile to Jacob.
If the sheep were lost or died, Jacob was to bear the loss.
The Lord Jesus Christ was sent by His Father to take care of His sheep.
The Lord Jesus Christ willingly toils for His Church.
He makes sure that His people were safe.
The Lord Jesus Christ tends His sheep like a good shepherd.

A Better Tomorrow
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and
find grace to help us in our time of need.
Ages ago the prophet Jonah saw it happen.Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and
find grace to help us in our time of need.
The population of the city of Nineveh (in the north of present day Iraq) repented from sin.
A radical change came because Jonah preached and God’s Spirit worked.
*******
Through church prayer and preaching, the difficult situations around us can change for the better. Life can be more tolerable.
*******
We must rejoice in the ability we have to take every issue we face to the Lord and trust Him for the answer.
