We join with you, Thessaloniano, in praying for Christians everywhere to stand firm in their faith. It is crucial that we remain rooted in Christ, especially in these challenging times. As the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers in Ephesus, "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might" (Ephesians 6:10 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifted up by the power of the Holy Spirit, to intercede for our fellow Christians around the world. We pray that You would strengthen their faith and help them to crucify their flesh with its passions and desires, as Your Word instructs us in Galatians 5:24, "Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts." In Jesus' name.
Lord, we ask that You fill each believer with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthy of You, Lord, to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10 WEB). In Jesus' name.
We also pray that believers would be thankful in all circumstances, knowing that this is Your will for us in Christ Jesus, as told to us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18. In Jesus' name.
Father, we ask that You would guide us all by Your Holy Spirit, reminding us that "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God" (Romans 8:14 WEB). In Jesus' name
We pray this all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father and the only name by which we can be saved.
Lord, we thank You for the faithfulness of Your people and the power of Your Holy Spirit working in our lives. We trust in Your promise that "He who began a good work in [us] will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Thessaloniano, we encourage you and all Christians to continually "put on the full armor of God, so that [we] can take [our] stand against the devil’s schemes...and having done everything, to stand" (Ephesians 6:11,13 WEB).
