Prayer to Faithful God of Peace

Paul has many pleasant memories
of the days he spent with the infant
Thessalonian church. Their Faith,
hope, love and perseverance
in the face of persecution are
exemplary and Paul’s labours
as a spiritual parent to the fledging
church have been richly rewarded.
He encourages the Thessalonians
to excel in their faith, increase in
their love, and rejoice always even
as God Promises to Sanctify them.

Lord, we’ll seek to Do Your Will:
Therefore comfort each other
and edify one another….
Be at Peace among yourselves…
Comfort the fainthearted, uphold
the weak, be patient with all…
.     Pursue what is good both for
yourselves and for all (1 Ths 5:11-15).
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks (v16-18).
Now may the God of Peace Himself
Sanctify You completely; and may
your whole spirit, soul and body
be preserved blameless at
the coming of our Lord Jesus.
He who calls you Is Faithful,
who also Will Do it (v23-24) Amen

Lord, in this season of uncertainties,
many are searching for direction.
The Holy Spirit knows all needs,
know all things and inspires us
to build each other up with words
of comfort and words of edification.
O Spirit, use our imagination to write
Your will, impress Your thoughts
and speak into the hearts of Your
people through us. In Jesus’ name.

Lord, prompt us to rejoice always,
pray & give thanks without ceasing.
Lord God of peace, do Your holy
work of Sanctification within us
for we want to honour You with our
lives and to resist sin each day.
Preserve us Lord to be blameless.
Give us a deep love for You and
the zeal for Your glory that will
surpass any impure passion. Amen.

Lord, I believe the convictions and
longings in my heart are placed
there by You & I raise them to You.
Use them Lord to accomplish
Your purposes; and I believe that
You will get me where I need to go.
I am prepared and available to work
out the calling You have for me.
For I know Lord that You are faithful
and that You will surely do it. Amen.

Seeking God thru Biblical Prayers

The purpose of 1 Thessalonians
to strengthen the church in their

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God to
be Christ’s disciples who purpose
to live Worthy of You, to walk the
way of faith & to share the gospel;
for You are a good and faithful God,
for You care, comfort and enable us.
In Jesus’ precious name we pray.

Prayer for Spread of the Word

In his second letter to Thessalonians,
Paul commends their faithfulness
in persecution and encourages
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.
Paul clarifies the Day of the Lord
had not yet arrived & recounts the
events which must take place first.
Labouring for the Gospel, rather
than lazy resignation, can be the
only proper response to such truth.

Lord, we will Pray For Outreach:
Finally brothers pray for us that
the message of the Lord may
Spread rapidly and be honoured,
just as it was with you. Pray that
we may be Delivered from evil
people, for not everyone has faith.
But the Lord is faithful, and He will
Strengthen you and Protect you
from the evil one (2Thess 3:1-3).
And we have confidence in the Lord…
that you are doing and will continue
to do the things which we charge you.
May the Lord direct your hearts
into the love of God and into
the patience of Christ (v4-5).
We… exhort through our Lord Jesus
Christ that they work in quietness…
As for you brethren, do not grow
weary in doing good (v12-13).

Lord, show us Your servants we
need to be faithful to support in
prayer as they spread Your truth.
Strengthen the hearts of those
who preach the gospel and equip
them in every way to do Your will.
Above all may Your Spirit do Your
mighty work in hearts of people so
that Your name be glorified. Amen.

Lord, may Your love and patience
constraints us to share the good
news of salvation to the lost.
Equip us Lord with the right words
at the right time, so that those
hearts are ready to be drawn to You.
We also pray for people who need
the good news, that their hearts
would Be Open to receive all
that You have for them. Amen.

Lord, help us not to be lazy in the
things of God and helping others.
Help us when we are overwhelmed
by evil beyond the realm of reason.
Help us turn to You immediately
for Your Protection and Strength.
For ultimately You will triumph
and Your name will be glorified.
Help us not be weary of doing good
but live in such a way that our faith
and lives will please You. Amen.

Prayer for Comfort & Stability

Paul commended Thessalonians
for their faithfulness in midst
of persecution and encouraging
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.
Paul also clarified the Day of
the Lord had not yet arrived,
and recounts the events which
must take place first. Labouring
for the gospel, rather than lazy
resignation, can be the only
proper response to such truth.

Lord, help us to Be Steadfast:
Brethren, concerning the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ… we
ask you not to be shaken in mind
or troubled (2 Thess 2:1-2).
God chose you for salvation
through the Sanctifying work
of the Spirit and through belief
in the truth (2 Thess 2:13).
Therefore stand fast and
hold the traditions which you
were taught. Now may our Lord
Jesus Himself..Comfort your hearts
and Establish u in every good word
and work (2 Thess 2:15-17). Amen.

Lord, we praise You for You are
perfect and Holy. I choose to trust
that You Already See me as Holy
for through Christ’s death, I am
presented holy and free from
accusation. And the sanctifying
work of the Spirit in my life and
thro believing the truth will help
me Mature In Holiness. Amen.

Lord, grateful for good Christian
friends who can offer counsel
and help. And thanks for Your
Word to bolster us in times
of trouble. And best of all, we
have Jesus himself inside us to
comfort & strengthen us to face
anything and provide all we need.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

What a friend we have in Jesus
all our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
If we have don’t be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer. Amen

Prayer on God Enabling Calling

In his second letter to Thessalonians,
Paul commends their faithfulness
in persecution and encourages
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.
Paul clarifies the Day of the Lord
had not yet arrived & recounts the
events which must take place first.
Labouring for the gospel, rather
than lazy resignation, can be the
only proper response to such truth.

Lord, make Effective our Calling:
We always thank You, O God,
for other believers and pray that
their faith would grow consistently,
demonstrating more… evidence of
that faith; and that their love for each
other would increase (2 Thess 1:3).
We keep on praying for you,
that our God will make you Worthy
of the life to which He Called you.
And we pray that God by His Power
will fulfill all your good intentions
and faithful deeds. Then everyone
will give honour to the name of our
Lord Jesus because of you (v11-12).

Lord, I lift up the needs of my
friends and loved ones to You.
I ask You will meet their physical,
emotional and spiritual needs.
Cause their faith to grow steadily
so that they would truly fear You.
Create in them the desire to love
others as they love themselves.
Help me Lord to consistently point
them to You in word and life. Amen.

Father God, I am thankful and
grateful that Effectiveness in Your
calling doesn’t depend on my abilities.
In Your grace, impart Your power
to me so that I may live the life
to which You Lord have called me.
Make me Lord a vessel of Your glory
so that those who see my works
will look past me and be drawn
to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord Jesus, I realise apart from
You, I can do absolutely nothing.
So I humbly seek You in prayer,
admit my inadequacy and ask
for Your grace and sufficiency.
Grant me Lord tenacious faith in You
and Empower me to fulfil my calling.
For You alone can make me worthy
of the life which You’ve called me.
More love, more power, more of You
Lord in my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen
