Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 9:38

"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest." — Matthew 9:38 (ASV)

Pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

It is earnest workers that we are to pray God to thrust forth into his harvest, for still the harvest is plentiful, and the labourers are few.
