Bible verse
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Thessalonians 3.
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
