This
crucial place of prayer reaffirms that great goal of God to uphold and
display his glory for the enjoyment of the redeemed from all the
nations…. The missionary purpose of God is as invincible as the fact
that he is God. He will achieve his purpose by creating white-hot
worshippers from every people, tongue, tribe and nation (Rev. 5:9; 7:9).
And he will be engaged to do it through prayer. Therefore, it is
almost impossible to overemphasize the awesome place of prayer in the
purposes of God for the world. John Piper, The Mission of God's People, p. 254
