2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. 2 Pray, too, that we will be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone is a believer. 3 But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you. 5 May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.

Usually when we pray, we pray for the needs of those around us. People with cancer, wayward children, safety for ourselves and others. Do we remember to include the spreading of the gospel? That's what Paul is asking the Thessalonians to pray for.
It is every Christians duty to spread the gospel. Jesus told His disciples “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." Mark 16:15b
As a disciple of Jesus, that command includes you.

Pray for the Gospel, the Good News to spread and then go do it!
