“Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His
harvest” —Matthew 9:38
‘The key to the missionary’s difficult task is in the hand
of God, and that key is prayer, not work— that is, not work as the word is
commonly used today, which often results in the shifting of our focus away from
God. The key to the missionary’s difficult task is also not the key of common
sense, nor is it the key of medicine, civilization, education, or even
evangelization. The key is in following the Master’s orders— the key is prayer. “Pray the Lord of
the harvest . . . .” In the natural
realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. […] Our Lord calls us to no
special work— He calls us to Himself. “Pray the Lord of the harvest,” and He
will engineer your circumstances to send you out as His laborer.’ CHAMBERS
Prayer is key to our relationship with God. How do you regard prayer? Is it something you
do if you find the time. If prayer is
the key … imagine you are standing outside of your house and the door is locked.
The only solution is to get the key to unlock the door. But you decided that having the key with you was
really not that important. The problem,
there is no other way to open the door, but with the key. So it Is with our life in Christ. God wants to have a relationship with
us. God speaks to us in various ways ..
His Word, circumstances, other Christians, but also through prayer. There is only one way that we can speak back to
Him, prayer. We should not pray because
we have to .. we should pray because we want to. It is unnatural for a Christian to not pray. I
don’t talk to my wife because it is my obligation say to “something” to her, I
talk to my wife because I love her and I know she loves me. I want to hear what she has to say .. and I
want her to hear what I have to say .. my joys and my sorrows … my victories
and my failures … why? Because I know she want sto spend time with me and cares
about what is happening to me . .what I am feeling … what I am thinking … in much the same way, your Father is waiting
to hear from you … so what are you waiting for, an invitation? I just gave you one. ELGIN
1 Peter 5:17 “Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares
for you”
