A Prayer for Missions

Lord, You have said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest." Please provide the right kind of men and women to meet the need. The fields are white, and the laborers are few. Provide the workers, Lord.

We pray for the missionaries who have already gone out. Make missionaries what they ought to be. Don't let us neglect to pray for them continually. Don't let us fail them. Provide what the workers need, Lord.

We pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the mission fields. Hear our prayer for revival and answer us, Lord.

We pray for the converts in the mission fields. The obstacles to faith are many and large, but You can overcome them all, Lord. Help those who are striving to live the new life in Christ.

We pray for the churches in the mission fields. Increase their effectiveness in equiping the saints for service and worship of You.

We pray for those who organize the mission fields. Grant them the wisdom and skills needed to plan wisely.

We pray for money. Many of the mission boards and societies are hurting for funds. Help us to answer the call from our own pockets.

Lord, we pray for You to bring blessing and victory to Your missions. In Jesus' name, amen.
