is right. Ask the Lord to help us see our neighborhoods and the nations as He sees
them, ready to respond as He opens our eyes.

Prayerful Perspective: Jesus knew how big the needs were, how overwhelming they
could be, so He told His followers to pray that God would act (Matt. 9:37). Pray that
churches and associations will pray like never before, seeing the needs through the lens
of prayer, depending on the Lord of the harvest to act.

Day Seven: Saturday
Prayerful Perspective: Today, pray for leaders in our churches and associations across
North America. We must be prayerfully dependent on God on mission where He has
planted us. Ask Him to give our leaders a fresh reminder of this need, and
encouragement to trust and obey Him.

What would God do? If we really saw the needs around us from Jesus’ perspective,
and depended on Him in prayer to send us into His harvest field to serve, what would
He do? What would our churches and associations look like? Pray that we
will see the answer to these questions through the prayerful obedience of God’s people
across North America.
