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

Daniel chapter 6 verse 10.

When Daniel knew that the document had been signed,

he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber

open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God as he had done previously.

What a picture. Here's Daniel.

As soon as he knew, a document had been signed that anyone who praise to God, anyone who worships, anyone besides the king will be killed.

As soon as Daniel hears that, what does he do?

Like he doesn't sit back and think,

Okay, now how can I pray but it not cost me?

How can I find like a loophole here? How can I? No. Daniel believes

that prayer is more important than life itself.

Thank you.

He is willing to die so that he can pray.

And he immediately goes up to his house, windows open, gets down on his knees, and he lifts his hands in prayer to God, just like he'd always done. Prayer more important than life,

willing to die so that he can pray.

His prayer. That pray. Is prayer that important to you?

Like, this is not just an activity he does at the beginning of meals or kind of quickly to start

off the day or quickly to end the day. Like, this is more important than life for Daniel.

Intimacy with God, intercession before God. This is more important than life.

This is I'm willing to die to experience this. Is prayer that important to you you and I want to encourage you if if your heart just resounds yes to that question yes

Yes, prayer is more important to me than life yes I would I would
