2Thessalonians 3: 1-18
Paul's Request for Prayer
Pray first that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honoured wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. Pray that we will be saved from wicked and evil people, for not everyone believes in the Lord. The Lord is faithful. He will make you strong and guard you from the evil one.
This is a reminder to spread the message of God all the time... I ask that the Lord make me strong and guard me from the evil one at all times.
An Exhortion to Proper Living
Stay away from any Christian who live in idleness and doesn't follow the tradition of hard work we gave you. We were never lazy when we were with you. We never accepted food without paying for it. We worked hard day and night so that we would not be a burden to any of you. (6-8)
This is a reminder to not let others influence and change me. Do not become lazy and do not resent them, instead help them see the error of their way. God, give me patience and strength to not be pulled into the mix of becoming uncaring or resentful when working with my peers.
