Brethren and sisters, have you forgotten that your prayers should go out, like sharp sickles, with the laborers in the great harvest field? As young men go forth to preach the truth, you should have seasons of prayer for them. Pray that God will connect them with Himself and give them wisdom, grace, and knowledge. Pray that they may be guarded from the snares of Satan and kept pure in thought and holy in heart. I entreat you who fear the Lord to waste no time in unprofitable talk or in needless labor to gratify pride or to indulge the appetite. Let the time thus gained be spent in wrestling with God for your ministers. Hold up their hands as did Aaron and Hur the hands of Moses. {5T 162.1}

Brødre og søstre, har I glemt at jeres bønner skal stige op, ligesom med arbejdere skarpe segl på den store høstmark? Idet unge mænd går ud for at forkynde sandheden, bør I have bønnestunder for dem. Bed om at Gud vil knytte dem til sig og give dem visdom, nåde og kundskab. Bed for at de må ledes udenom Satans snarer og holdes rene i tanke og hellige i hjerte. Jeg beder jer inderligt, som frygter Herren, at ikke spilder tid til unyttig snak eller til unødigt arbejde, der tilfredsstiller stolthed eller føjer appetitten. Lad den vundne tid blive brugt på at kæmpes med Gud, for jeres prædikanter. Hold deres hænder oppe ligesom Aron og Hur holdte Moses' hænder oppe.
