The Prayer We're Afraid To Pray (Matthew 9:35—38)

Jesus commands us to pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest, so why don’t we? Many don’t obey this command because they’re afraid of the consequences. Pastor Wiersbe explains that as we follow this command to pray for laborers, we begin to see things as Jesus sees them, and then we will start to follow in His footsteps and do what He did.

This message was preached on October 26, 1975, at the Moody Church in Chicago, IL, when Dr. Wiersbe served as the Senior Pastor.
