May God Encourage You

Although we tend to spend time praying and pleading over the hard things, we can’t forget the value and benefit of some good, solid encouragement.  Both first and second Thessalonians offer benedictions of blessing and encouragement and, although brief, they’re packed with rich truth that can encourage our hearts!

Pray this today, putting the name of your children in wherever it says ‘you’….and then, why not text it to your son or daughter?  What a way to brighten their day!

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.”

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”

Pray without ceasing.
