In Answer to Prayer

Pertinent to this week's text from Matthew, here's a little something from John Piper:

And who would say that God does not love the world or that He is hesitant to gather His harvest? Yet Jesus said, “Pray … the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matt. 9:38). Why must the owner of the farm be implored by his farmhands to send out more laborers? Because there is one thing God loves to do more than bless the world. He loves to bless the world in answer to prayer.
