This praying suggestion appears on yard signs, such as the one you see here, which I photographed a few minutes ago whilst I was jogging through my Caribbean themed neighborhood.
This praying suggestion also appears on roadside billboards.
And, whilst driving Highway 287 to the Dallas/Fort Worth zone I have seen multiple instances of this message attached to those big trailers you see on the road being towed by a semi-truck, with the big trailer detached from a semi, and then parked at a right angle to the road, thus serving as a movable billboard, temporarily stationary.
Under the PRAY FOR PEACE part of the message one reads "2 THESS. 3:16".
Googling this bible verse one only gets as far as "2 THES" before Google fills in "2 Thessalonians 3:16".
Clicking one of the links to this bible verse one soon sees various versions from various bible versions, with all versions pretty much expressing the same "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you" sentiment, in slightly various ways.
All of these PRAY FOR PEACE signs also includes a website.
PattersonAuto.com
Clicking the link one quickly learns that Patterson Auto is not a church. Patterson Auto is a car dealership, with multiple locations.
I make no judgement as to whether, or not, a car dealership advertising in this manner is appropriate, cheesy, tacky or sacrilegious.
I will make the judgement that there sure are a lot of people willing to help advertise in this manner, with this sign in their yard....
