52 Prayers from the Bible

Pray for the Spread of the Gospel

¹ Finally, pray for us, brothers, that the Lord's message may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you, ² and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not all have faith. ³ But the Lord is faithful; He will strengthen and guard you from the evil one. ⁴ We have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do what we command. ⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts to God's love and Christ's endurance. (2 Thessalonians 3:1-5)
