Praying with Paul: 'Eternal Comfort'

Saturday, August 2, 2025

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

Dear Father,

Thank you for calling us to salvation through the Good News of Christ, so that we may obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus. Help us to stand firm and hold fast to the traditions of your holy apostles.

May the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and you, our Father, who loved us and gave eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort our hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
