Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray for laborers in the harvest field, knowing that God desires all nations to hear His truth (Matthew 9:38).
Father, You are the Lord of the harvest, sovereign over every nation and tribe. I confess that I often think small when You think global, focusing on my comfort when You've called me to Your mission. Give me boldness to share Your gospel in my own Jerusalem and vision for how You might use me to reach the ends of the earth. Make me faithful in making disciples who will make disciples. In Jesus' name, Amen.
