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.
