Matthew 9:37

The Lord of the Harvest

36When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.37Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
