Lord of the living harvest, at this moment, on this day, I join my heart with all those who are part of this 100 Days of Prayer, trusting in Your promise that Your power and provision are released when Your people unite and agree together in prayer. Today we are responding to Your call to prayer when You said, “Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest fields.” (Matthew 9:38) Thank You for this invitation! Praise You for hearing and responding to our prayers!
Holy Spirit, awaken us, Your Church!
Stir us from comfort and routine. (Pause and pray for this now…)
Break every chain of self-focus, apathy, fear, and distraction. (Pause and pray for this now…)
Fill us with fresh fire and holy boldness. (Pause and pray for this now…)
Break our hearts with compassion and love for the lost. (Pause and pray for this now…)
May the love of Christ compel us personally to pray, to persevere, to give, to send, and to go with urgency and joy!
Raise up evangelists, teachers, prophets, pastors, apostles, witnesses, and willing workers in Your harvest field. Send them out to the nations, and into our neighborhoods. Anoint them with power. Equip them with truth. Clothe them with humility. Send them with Your authority, provision and protection. Lead them by Your Spirit into the darkest places with the light of Christ. Thwart every deception and attack of the enemy in their lives.
And even as I pray for them, I join with Your servant Isaiah in saying,
“Here am I! Send me! Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
Mobilize me for Your mission—in my church, in my world, and in my relationships! (Pause and let the Holy Spirit speak to you about this...)
May every church—including my church—become a sending church. May every family—including my family— become a mission-minded family. And may every Christ-follower—including me—become a “sent one.” Lord, here we are. Start with us! Send us in Your mighty and saving Name!
Thank you for calling me to contend in prayer with You for spiritual renewal in every heart, home, church and this region. Pour out Your Spirit, Lord Jesus, awakening the lost to faith, readying Your church to join You in Your mission and sending workers into the fields ripe for harvest.
Amen
