1 Thessalonians 3:11

Jesus
Guidance and decisionsPrayer

9 How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?

10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking from your faith.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,

13 so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
