Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Psalm chapter 39 verse 4.

O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days.

Let me know how fleeting I am.

This is a good verse to meditate on today and pray according to

David's prayer here in the psalm that God would give him a right

perspective of his life, specifically the length of his life being so

short compared to all of eternity, which is how the Bible speaks about our

lives, right? Your life is a mist.

It's a vapor. It's here one second and gone the next.

Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days.

Let me know how fleeting I am. In other words, God, help me to see

that the moments I have and the days I have are numbered

and so help me to make them count for your glory. In the very beginning of this

psalm, David is talking about every word he says,

like think about that. To speak today with wisdom and every word you say

to make your words count. Every interaction you have with other people

to make them count in ways that are good for them and glorifying to God

and to make them count for what's going to matter forever.

God, help us to share the good news of Jesus with our words, right?

Like what else can you or I say to someone else today that has the

potential to transform their lives for the next 10
