1 Thessalonians 3:11
Apostolic Prayer.In this section, Paul prays for the Thessalonians. He wishes he could visit them in person, but since he cannot, he brings his requests to God. Paul wants their faith to grow and their lives to show more love and holiness. He reminds them that only God can truly help them, and that Jesus is also the one to whom we pray, just as we pray to the Father.v. 11: Paul prays to both God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you (1 Thessalonians 3:11 a). He asks God to make it possible for him and his friends to come back to Thessalonica. Paul knows that all our plans depend on God. Even simple things, like making a journey, are under God's control. We should trust God to guide all our steps.
