If God is God, Why Pray? (Colossians 4:2-4, Matthew 9:35-38)
Wayne Schuller, February 18, 2007Part of the HTD Prayer Series 2007 series, preached at a Morning Service
Colossians 4:2–4 (Listen)
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
(ESV)
Matthew 9:35–38 (Listen)
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
