榮耀的主，你今天又再教導我們寶貴的一課。我們謙卑地懇求你，讓我們看清這個教導的屬靈真義。待收的庄稼這么多，多少人正走向滅亡，等著打瞌睡的門徒發出懇求工人的訊號。主，求你教導我們以怜憫的心腸舉目看田，工人是這么的少。主，求你讓我們看清，缺乏禱告和信心的罪是多么大，這現象就是記號。庄稼的主是何等有能力差派工人，也愿意如此行。主！讓我們看見他乃是在等侯我們禱告，才會賜下回答。至於已經具有禱告使命的門徒，求主讓我們明白，你如何能將圣靈澆灌下來，吹气在他們身上，以致他們能被你的怜憫和你信實的應許激勵，而能不住作得胜的祈禱。

哦！我們的主，我們真不明白你怎能將這樣的工作和權柄托付如此懶散、不忠的人。感謝你教導我們，應當日夜呼求庄稼的主打發工人去作工。主！求你將你的靈賜給你所有的儿女，好叫他們學會單單為神的國度和神的榮耀而活，并且對禱告的果效充滿信心。讓我們的心對這個祈求充滿确信，正如對其他的祈求一樣，知道當我們向永活的神獻上愛心及信心的禱告，必然會得到丰盛的應允。阿們――慕安得烈

Blessed Lord!  Thou hast this day again given us another of Thy wondrous lessons to learn.  We humbly ask Thee, O give us to see aright the spiritual realities of which Thou hast been speaking.  There is the harvest which is so large, and perishing, as it waits for sleepy disciples to give the signal for labourers to come.  Lord, teach us to look out upon it with a heart moved with compassion and pity.  There are the labourers, so few.  Lord, show us how terrible the sin of the want of prayer and faith, of which this is the token.  And there is the Lord of the harvest, so able and ready to send them forth.  Lord, show us how He does indeed wait for the prayer to which He has bound His answer.  And there are the disciples, to whom the commission to pray has been given:  Lord, show us how Thou canst pour down Thy Spirit and breathe upon them, so that Thy compassion and the faith in Thy promise shall rouse them to unceasing, prevailing prayer.

O our Lord!  we cannot understand how Thou canst entrust such work and give such power to men so slothful and unfaithful.  We thank Thee for all whom Thou art teaching to cry day and night for labourers to be sent forth.  Lord, breathe Thine own Spirit on all Thy children, that they may learn to live for this one thing alone--the Kingdom and glory of their Lord--and become fully awake to the faith of what their prayer can accomplish.  And let all our hearts in this, as in every petition, be filled with the assurance that prayer, offered in loving faith in the living God, will bring certain and abundant answer.Amen. ―― Andrew Murray
