If the Word of God is not bound, why must we pray that it would have "free course"?

2 Timothy 2:9  for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!

2 Thessalonians 3:1 
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you,

2 Timothy 2:1 - 26

ESV - ¹ You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ² And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
