How can I know if my heart for Jesus is healthy? Hint: you can look at your lifestyle. This week we continue the Here’s Hope series by looking at a prayer of Paul’s in 1 Thessalonians 3:11-4:2. From his joy at the good report about the faith of the Thessalonian church, Paul will spend the rest of the letter filling in some gaps in their instruction. Before doing that he prepares his heart and their own with a prayer.

What can we learn from this prayer? How should it impact our perception of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus? I’m glad you asked!
