Exegesis
The transition touto kai euchometha {τοῦτο καὶ εὐχόμεθα | toû-to kaí eu-khó-me-tha} uses a cataphoric pronoun touto to anticipate the direct object ten humon katartisin {τὴν ὑμῶν κατάρτισιν | tḕn hy-môn ka-tár-ti-sin}, “your restoration,” which is fronted for emphasis and links rejoicing to prayer.
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:9
For we rejoice whenever we are weak and you are strong; and this also we pray for, your restoration .
