21 Days of Prayer and Fasting--Day #17

DAY 17

LABORERS 

How does this happen?

WORKING FOR A PLENTIFUL HARVEST 

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE READING 

When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” 

—Matt. 9:36-38 (ESV) 

PRAYER + REFLECTION 

1. Pray that more laborers would respond to God’s calling to the nations everywhere. 

1. Lift up missionaries and pastors globally who are alone or tired, that their strength would be renewed, and that they would experience fresh vision, strong marriages and families, and good health. 
2. Ask God to open all nations, calling missionaries to bring the gospel to the least-reached people of the world.
