Jesus’ harvest vision was leveraged by prayer. Prayer is continually connected to the mission of God in the life of Jesus. We have no ability to transform anything without God’s power. Jesus explained the power needed for the harvest was found in the resource of praying, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest’” (Matt. 9:37-38). The source for harvest workers is not in recruitment strategies, but in prayer. Prayer recognizes God as eternally resourceful.

God calls us to be people of prayer. And He instructs us about what we should pray. As you pray for the harvest and for more people to answer the call to work in the harvest, God will also begin transforming you into a worker for His kingdom purposes. Take time to stop and pray that God will send more into the harvest fields today.
