Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Before I read, Psalm 34.3, let me just remind you if you've not already, if you're listening to this on April 23rd, that Secret Church is tonight.

Secretchurch.org, if you're not already signed up, I would encourage you a part of it.

Thousands of people from every state

in the United States, countries around the world, Cambodia, Indonesia, Peru, Zambia, so many

different countries coming together to pray, dive into the Word, and see God's purpose for

our lives. So, secretchurch.org, let me encourage you to be apart tonight. Psalm chapter 34,

verse 3. Oh, magnify the Lord with me. And let us exalt his name together. So here's why I've got to read

this verse and lead us in prayer according to it.

This is the theme verse for my marriage.

When Heather and I were getting married, we chose this verse to summarize our prayer for our marriage.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. The purpose of marriage is magnification of the Lord. It's a joining of two people

for this one purpose to magnify the Lord, exalt his name together.

Two people who are saying, I want to exalt his name in my life. You want to exalt his name in your life.

So let's do this together. And so this has been the theme of our marriage. And so I want to pray this over

marriages represented and those who are listening right now. And then I want to pray this over the church.

So in a broader way than just marriage, that we would see the theme of the church, our local churches,

and us together in the broader church.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me.

And let us exalt his name together.

This is what we exist for.

This is why we are joined together as brothers and sisters in Christ,
