Prayer for Farmers and the Harvest Season: 8 Prayer Points and Bible Verses

Every meal at a Thanksgiving table began in a field, a greenhouse or a farm. As harvest season is celebrated in Canada, the USA and the UK, and as farmers across Nigeria work through their own harvest cycles, this is a good moment to pray for the people who feed us.

What the Bible Says About Seedtime and Harvest

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22, KJV)

“Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” (James 5:7, KJV)

“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.” (Matthew 9:37, KJV)

Scripture honours farming and reminds us that harvest is a gift from God, received through faithful, patient labour.

Lord, thank You for every meal and for the hands that grew, harvested, transported and prepared our food.

2. Good Weather and Fruitful Seasons

Give farmers the right balance of sun and rain, and protect crops from drought, flood and destructive weather.

3. Safety for Workers

Protect farmers and farm workers from accidents, illness and harm. Give them strength for long days.

4. Fair Prices and Fair Wages

Let farmers be paid fairly for their work, and let labourers be treated with dignity and justice.

Comfort farmers under financial pressure, stress or isolation. Lead them to supportive friends, advisers and churches.
