2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 - Paul's Prayer Request

1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the message of the Lord may continue to spread and prove its glorious power as it did among you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unprincipled and wicked men; for not all men have faith. 3 But the Lord is to be trusted, and He will give you strength and guard you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in you through the Lord that you are now practicing the directions which we give you and that you will continue to do so. 5 May the Lord guide you into a realization of God's love for you and into a patient endurance like Christ's.
