| 0:00.0 | Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:03.8 | Psalm chapter 105 verse 4. |
| 0:06.8 | Seek the Lord and his strength. |
| 0:10.2 | Seek his presence continually. |
| 0:13.8 | Oh, what a great verse to memorize, just so simple, but to hide this in your heart, especially during these days |
| 0:24.6 | where we're facing just on a daily basis, unique strains and unique challenges. Seek the Lord and |
