June 20—Pray for New Believers

Read

2 Thessalonians 3:1-3

Reflect

Once again, Paul is asking for prayer. His specific request is that “the Lord’s message may continue to spread rapidly and be received with honor” (verse 1 GNT), just as it did in Thessalonica. This is an important prayer to offer in our time when many are not aware of God’s Word, or they ignore or even disdain it. May the Word be accompanied by a dynamic and living witness to the power of God to change lives, for “not everyone believes the message” (verse 2 GNT). As we pray, we can be sure that God is faithful and that he will keep us “safe from the Evil One” (verse 3 GNT).

Engage

Read today’s Scripture passage. Say or write it out in your own words, considering the following questions:

· What does it say about God?

· What does it say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, 1 Peter 5:8. Spend a few minutes committing it to memory.
