2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The faith, patience, and hard pressing times show our worthiness in Christ is in being identified with Him and treated as He was by the world. Therefore the prayer here is for that He completes this work in us, fully pleasing Him in what is good, and seen in the working of His power to change and keep us by the faith in which we stand. Why? So that Jesus Christ’s name is glorified and magnified in and through us, and we are likewise glorified as in Christ and not of ourselves. This is all by His great grace.
