Faithful Work, Loving Deeds, Enduring Hope

Most of our prayers are focused on the next day or week, but what would it look like for our prayers to be shaped by eternity?In 1 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul models a radically different posture for our prayer lives. Instead of focusing inward on immediate comforts, Paul challenges us to widen the angle and shift our focus outward, to relentlessly lifting up others in prayer and anchoring our hearts in the future return of Christ.
