Your Prayer Needed (2 Thes 1-3)

"Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith." Not all of the people out there know or understood the faith because there are some scattered cultures out there that we overlooked. Maybe we forgot to reach those types of people or we were clouded by our humanly judgmental error, such as thinking, "I need to focus on those 99 people rather than wasting my time for one person." Sometimes we naturally forgot about those three parables: lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son (Luke 15). In other word, they were scattered... Yeah our brains are so limited. But our brain may expand through our prayer to help us starting to recognize things we never recognize before! When we do, we finally increased our faith so that the word of the Lord may speed ahead through us. "We must think in new ways for bringing together the scattered community with this life-changing, eternal gospel of our Lord." -Deaf Diaspora

Paul wrote to Timothy that he remember him constantly in his prayers night and day. Then he went on to say, "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God." - 2 Tim 1:5-6

I love how Paul reminded Timothy that it is through his mother and grandmother that he had that kind of faith! In the same way, we need some respectable leaders out there to be our role model by passing down their faith to us. Then we need to pass down our faith to the others, especially to those who don't have any role models with faith.
