Lord Jesus, you have
shown us fields ripe for harvesting,
but many oppose the work
you have given us to do,
and we know our own
failings work against us.
O Lord, you are near to
all who call on you in truth;
help us find mutual
encouragement in each other's faith;
deliver us from anything
that blocks us from doing your will.
