Summary
Jeremiah chapter 29, verse 4, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the excels, who might have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. And so here was a prayer outline that they could use to pray for Babylon that there would be a prospering there of that city. But seek the welfare of the city, where I've sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, then Jesus says, therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Jesus says, pray for more laborers and then the disciples become the answer to their own prayer. You see we pray Lord, we want to grow in the faith we want to grow in the relationship, we want to care for each other and so the Lord says, I'm going to use you to be the answer, to your own prayer.
