Taken from Our Daily Bread.




A missionary recently visited the Bible study I was attending. She described what it had been like to pack up her household, part with friends, and relocate to a distant country. When she and her family arrived, they were greeted with a flourishing drug-trade and hazardous roadways. The language barrier brought on bouts of loneliness. They contracted four different stomach viruses. And her oldest daughter narrowly escaped death after falling through a railing on an unsafe stairwell. They needed prayer.

The apostle Paul experienced danger and hardship as a missionary. He was imprisoned, shipwrecked, and beaten. It's no surprise that his letters contained pleas for prayer. He asked the believers in Thessalonica to pray for success in spreading the gospel—that God's Word would "run swiftly and be glorified" (2 Thess. 3:1) and that God would deliver him from "unreasonable and wicked men" (v.2). Paul knew he would need to "open [his] mouth boldly" and declare the gospel (Eph. 6:19), which was yet another prayer request.

Do you know people who need supernatural help as they spread the good news of Christ? Remember Paul's appeal, "Brethren, pray for us" (2 Thess. 3:1), and intercede for them before the throne of our powerful God.



Have a great week,

Thanks Jody, I know that I often over look those missionaries who are out there doing God's work
Pray as if everything depends on God, work like everything depends on you
