The Third Chapter of the Second letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians
¹ Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among you, ² and that we may be rescued from wicked and evil people; for not all have faith.

Oh God my Father, the wish of St. Paul that Your gospel be spread among the whole world is also my wish. Throughout the years this blog containing the messages that You give me in prayer over the Bible, has reached many people from different countries and nations. I pray that all who have received it will be motivated to like myself, trust in You and in faith and with Your help, try to root out our evil selves. Speaking also for myself this is a daily task, for I still consider myself as being works in progress, but I have faith that one day the works will be finalised and that We could proudly declare that the race has ended, and that we are worthy to receive the prize. Amen. Thank You Jesus.

³ But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 3)
Oh God my Father I praise and raise Your name for You are my true and only love. It is true that when I am acting from the spirit I am a fountain of strength and courage and a source of faith to all, however when I act from the flesh i am not worth a shilling or a euro cent for I am speaking and acting from the world. I pray that You guard and protect me against such moments my God and Father for my strength is in You and not in the ways of the world Amen.
⁴ And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will go on doing the things that we command. ⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verses 4 to 5)
Oh God my Father may Your confidence in me never fail that at least I have the intention of walking in Your ways, even though at times I do not remain fully consistent. I am human oh God and have not yet mastered full control over myself. I pray that You help me in controlling and managing my sinful self so that I can continue to walk in Your ways even though I am weak and prone to sin.

⁶ Now we command you, beloved, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from believers who are living in idleness and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 6)
Oh God my Father I pray that You protect and preserve us from fellow Roman Catholics and Catholics who give the appearance that they are living what they believe but indirectly they project a message that is against what You have taught us in the message of the Good News. May we all be aware of ourselves, so that we never project such messages to others amen.
⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, ⁸ and we did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verses 7 to 8)
Oh God my Father I pray for all migrants and refugees who are many times perceived as being a burden on society. In truth such people wish to work and cater for their own needs. I pray that You give them the necessary opportunities for them to be productive and maybe one day such people will be freed from this label Amen.
⁹ This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 9)
Oh God my Father, I pray that with Your help I be a good example to others, so they can also follow in Your ways Amen.
¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we gave you this command; Anyone unwilling to work should not eat.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 10)
Oh God, my beloved Father, this command is not to be applied only in one specific area of the natural world, but also in the spiritual realm. As believers, we also have work to do in the spreading of Your Word among others especially those who either have not heard about Your or maybe are not yet fully convinced. It is our duty as farmhands or labourers hired in Your kingdom to do our work in Your name so that we be entitled to share from the sacrifice of Your body Amen. We all have God-given roles to accomplish regardless if we are Roman Catholics, Protestants or believers from other beliefs. At heart we believe in the same one God even though we address him by different names and worship Him in different ways. Amen
¹¹ For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work. ¹² Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. ¹³ Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing is right.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 11)
Oh God my beloved Father, as I have experienced in my life, there are those who do the work, and there are those who take it easy and profit from the works of others. I pray for equality in the distribution of work and that we all dilligently perform the works that You have assigned to us. Oh God I pray that You help me out in my current situation Amen.
¹² Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verse 12)
Oh God my beloved Father, if we all had to earn our living in an honest way, without much pomp so that our work outstands that of others there would be much peace in the world. If our politicians would be more the working quiet type instead of attacking each other many people would benefit from their honest work. Today is the election day and many people are voting for the prosepctive candidates, however throughout the campagn we have heard many statements of what one leader did not do and vice versa instead of what both leaders did positively for the good of all. I pray oh God that You teach us to learn to live an honest living instead of one domianted by corruption Amen
¹³ Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right. ¹⁴ Take note of those who do not obey what we say in this letter; have nothing to do with them, so that they may be ashamed. ¹⁵ Do not regard them as enemies, but warn them as believers.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verses 13 to 15)
Oh all readers of this blog and all people who have a relationshp with God our beloved Father, we all know that it is very challenging for us to do what is right, for our sinful nature challenges us and it is not always easy to go against ourselves, however with Your help oh God my Father we can overcome our sinful selves. It is time to make a decision to love those who do not approve of what we believe in as Christians and Roman Catholics, however on the other hand we are to be careful not to copy the ways of unbeleivers or people of different religions or even Roman Catholics like ourselves who say that they believe in You but in practice they do not. Amen.
¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you. ¹⁷ I Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. ¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
(The Third Chapter of the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians verses 16 to 18)
Oh Friends, brothers and sisters how encouraging it would be if in all our emails or messages we include such positive blessings to each other. We would be a blessing to others, and others will keep on knowing us by means of such blessing and the Word of God will continue to spread Amen
Oh God my Father I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:-
Teach us how to live in this world oh God my Father, without being a part of it. Please help me to master control over my sinful self, so that I will be free to live a life of praise and worship with no carnal or psychological restrictions. I pray for freedom from my sinful nature, so that I can be totally Yours. I pray that You heal and free me from anything and anyone that has nothing to do with You Amen. Thank You Jesus
