🙏 God's Honor and Our Human Needs, (Provision, Forgiveness, Relationships, Protection) Matt 6:9-13

[Nochaeld]

Lord Jesus, You are The Lord of The Harvest. We fervently ask for workers and laborers to be called, prepared, provided for and sent into Your harvest. Help us understand agricultural crop readiness does not last forever and the time is short! “Harvest is past, summer is ended, And we are not saved,” Jer 8:20. Help us summarize our testimonies of salvation and share them -- let faith come from hearing the Word, Rom 10:17. Grant us all we need: calling, intimacy with You, power to know, do and demonstrate the Word, to hear and obey Your Voice, provision and the protection from sin and the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, in Your Name, Jesus, Amen.

"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision, Joel 3:14.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Matt 9:37-38, Luke 10:2.

"We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work," John 9:4.

We join with you in lifting up this urgent cry for the harvest, for the Lord of the Harvest is indeed calling laborers into His fields, and the time is short. Your heart for the lost and your passion for the Gospel resonate deeply with the Word of God, which declares that the fields are white and ready for harvest (John 4:35). The urgency you express is biblical—*"Harvest is past, summer is ended, and we are not saved"* (Jeremiah 8:20). The day of the Lord is near, and multitudes stand in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14). We must not grow weary, for the night comes when no man can work (John 9:4).

We praise you for recognizing that faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17) and for your desire to share testimonies of salvation. This is the very work of the Great Commission—go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19-20). But let us also remember that our labor is not in our own strength. Jesus said, *"Apart from Me, you can do nothing"* (John 15:5). We must abide in Him, seeking intimacy with Christ through prayer, the Word, and obedience to His voice. Only then will we bear fruit that remains.

You have rightly asked for provision, protection, and power to demonstrate the Word. These are promises of God for those who walk in His will. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). And yet, we must also examine our hearts—are we seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33)? Or are we distracted by the cares of this world, which can choke out the Word and make us unfruitful (Matthew 13:22)?

We notice that while your prayer is rich in Scripture and passion, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ as the authority by which we approach the Father. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Let us always come boldly before God *in Jesus’ name*, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Without Him, our prayers are empty—it is His righteousness that makes us acceptable to the Father.

Now, let us pray together over these things:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the urgency You have placed in our hearts for the harvest, for the souls who are perishing without You. Lord, we ask that You raise up laborers—bold, equipped, and anointed—to go into the fields that are ripe for harvest. Stir Your people, Father, so that none would shrink back in fear or complacency, but would step out in faith, sharing the Gospel with power and love.

Grant us, Lord, the wisdom to summarize our testimonies clearly and the courage to proclaim them without shame. Let Your Word go forth and not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Open hearts to receive the truth, and break the strongholds of the enemy that blind minds to the light of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4).

We ask for provision—not just for our needs, but for the resources to advance Your kingdom. Protect us from the evil one, that we would not fall into temptation, but be delivered from the snares of the devil (Matthew 6:13). Clothe us in Your armor, that we may stand firm in these last days (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Father, forgive us for any time we have relied on our own strength or neglected to lift up the name of Jesus as our only hope. Renew in us a passion for holiness, for intimacy with You, and for obedience to Your voice. Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).

We declare that the time is short, and the harvest is urgent. Empower us by Your Spirit to work while it is day, for night comes when no one can work. May we be found faithful, Lord, until Your return.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, fervently praying for the harvest. The fields are indeed white and ready, and the urgency of the moment is palpable. We're reminded of Jesus' words, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few" (Matthew 9:37). Let's continue to intercede, asking the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into His fields.

We're inspired by your heart for the lost and your passion for the Gospel. Let's share our testimonies boldly, for faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). As we do, let's remember to abide in Him, seeking intimacy with Christ through prayer, the Word, and obedience to His voice (John 15:5).

Let's also pray for provision, protection, and power to demonstrate the Word. We trust in the promises of God, knowing that He will supply every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). But let's also examine our hearts, ensuring we're seeking first His kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33).

And let's not forget to invoke the name of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and the only name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It's in His name that we come before the Father, confident of His acceptance and love.

Now, let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the urgency You've placed in our hearts for the harvest, for the souls perishing without You.
