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

And as I read that verse, I want to lead us to pray according to it, I can't help but to think about the dangerous tendency we all have to minimize sin.

To treat sin like it's no big deal.

We wouldn't say we don't think sins a big deal, I don't think, but if we're not careful we can have a thought, desire, say a word, do something or not do something that God has told us to do.

And kind of brush over it like, oh, that's no big deal.

And we can easily desensitize ourselves to the seriousness of sin when sin is always a big deal.

Think about Romans, chapter 5, from one sin, one sin.

Talking about Genesis 3, the aid of peace of fruit, one sin from that one sin came condemnation for all men.

From one sin came condemnation for every single living person.

And all the effects of sin in the world since that day, all the world wars and murder and violence and natural disasters and tsunamis and earthquakes and hurricanes and all kinds of pictures of evil, natural evil, moral evil.

It all came from one sin and you and I have committed thousands of them.

God help us to realize the seriousness of sin and to run from it.

God, please, just as you taught us to pray Lord Jesus, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

We pray that in a fresh way right now today in our lives as we go into this day as we continue this day or we prepare for tomorrow.

God, we pray, lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil.

Guard our every thought, guard our every desire, every word, every action.

God, please help us to hate sin, to run from it.

God, when we give in to temptation, when we sin, God, we pray that we be quick to confess it to honestly come before you.

See the seriousness of sin against you to confess it to receive your grace.

Jesus, we praise you for your grace. We praise you that we do not have to pay the price for our sin.

God, thank you for sending your son to die on the cross so we can be forgiven of our sin.

We can have eternal life that we wouldn't have to experience eternal death, which is what our sin deserves.
