Preparing for the Day of the Lord
(Prayer Walk thro 2 Thess 1-3)
Backgrounder: Paul begins his
second letter to the Thessalonians
by commending them for their
faithfulness in the midst of
persecution and by encouraging
them that present suffering
will be repaid with future glory.
But Paul must also deal with a
misunderstanding concerning
the coming Day of the Lord.
Despite reports to the contrary,
that day had not yet arrived, and
Paul 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.
Dear Lord, we are inspired by
the Thessalonian church for
their faithfulness in the midst
of persecution and suffering.
Help us be watchful, persevere and
never be tired of working for Christ.
Help us Be Effective to our Calling.
Help us Mature In Holiness and
Help us Pray For Seekers. Amen.
Lord, we pray Calling Be Effective
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
(2 Thess 1:11-12). Amen.
Lord, thank U 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
have called me. Make me a vessel
of Your glory so that those who
see my works will look past me
and be drawn to You. Amen.
Lord, we purpose to Be Holy:
God chose you for salvation
through the Sanctifying work
of the Spirit and through belief
in the truth… Therefore stand fast
and hold the traditions which you
were taught. Now may our Lord
Jesus Himself..comfort your hearts
and establish you in every good
word and work (2 Thess 2:13-17).
Lord,we praise U for Your Holiness.
You are perfect and that fact
gives me peace. I choose to trust
that You Already See me as Holy
and your work in my life will help
me Mature In Holiness. Amen.
Lord, we will Pray For Seekers:
Finally brothers pray for us that
the message of the Lord may
spread rapidly and be honoured,
just as it was with you (2Thess 3:1)
Lord, use me to bring the good
news of salvation through Jesus
Christ to others. Just as You have
used others powerfully in my life,
equip me with the right words at
the right time, so that those hearts
are ready will be drawn toward You.
I also pray for people who need
the good news, that their hearts
would be open to receive
all You have for them. Amen.
