Finally, dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes — 2 Thessalonians 3:1 (NLT)
Obstacles must be removed to allow God’s Word to spread rapidly and freely. Removing obstacles implies resolute resistance in spiritual warfare. Just as Aaron and Hur supported Moses’ arms in the battle against the Amalekites (Exodus 17:12), you can strengthen the arms of missionaries through your prayers.
 Pray for strength and stamina as missionaries encounter antagonistic spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:10–18).
 Pray that people will resist Satan’s plans to obstruct the spread of the gospel (James 4:7).
 Pray that God’s Word will indeed spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes.
