“Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”

Charles Simeon on Matthew 9:38: “The whole night did Jesus spend in prayer, previous to his calling to himself his twelve disciples. And who can tell, if we were alike earnest in prayer, what might be effected in behalf of the heathen world? At all events, we are bound to use the means: and we have every reason to believe, that if “we would give no rest to our God,” agreeably to his direction, he would arise for our help, and get himself praise throughout the earth.[1]
