<p><br></p><p><strong>2 Thessalonians 3:1 </strong>As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. </p><p>Reflection </p><p>Paul asks the church to pray that the message of the Lord would run freely and be honored. The gospel is alive and powerful, advancing wherever God opens hearts to receive it. When we pray, we participate in God’s work of bringing salvation to the world. </p><p>Application </p><p>Today, ask God to let the gospel spread rapidly across our nation and throughout the world. Pray for open hearts and minds to respond in faith. Lift up those you know who are far from God, asking for mercy and salvation. Trust God to bring many to faith in Jesus and to see lives transformed and baptized this year. </p>
