2 Th 3:1-2
Finally, brothers and sisters,
pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified,
just as it was also with you;

and that we will be rescued from troublesome and evil people;
for not all have the faith.

Paul then encourages and exhorts them.

2 Th 3:3-5
But the Lord is faithful,
and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you,
that you are doing,
and will do, what we command.

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God
and to the perseverance of Christ.

Rejoice in this!
Live in this!

The Lord is faithful.
The Lord will strengthen you.
The Lord will protect you from the evil one.

Paul had confidence in the Lord…not just in himself…in the Lord…concerning them.
They were doing what Paul commanded.
He knew that they would continue to do so.

Then, this great thought.
It is the Lord that directs our hearts.
He directs us to love God.
He directs us to the perseverance of Christ.

Selah!!
