Today’s Passage

“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.” -Matthew 9:36-38

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,
I’m quick to forget Your character
And Your faithfulness toward me.
I see You as angry, disappointed, and distant.
In truth, You are full of compassion
and You pour out Your heart on Your people.
Give me the same compassion for others
that You have toward them.
Enlarge my heart for the lost,
the hurting, and the broken.
Today, I pray for laborers,
just as You commanded.
Our world is ripe for harvest.
So send us out to do Your work,
to our homes, our communities, our world.
Here I am, Lord.
Send me.
