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

Psalm chapter 106, verse 47, save us, O Lord, our God, and gather us from among the nations,

that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.

This summary verse, in a sense, comes at the end of an entire chapter just recounting God's

grace among his people, how God's people continually turned from him, and God saved them,

God delivered them, and yet they would still turn away from him. It's just a

recounting over and over and over again of God's gracious salvation. So you get to this verse and it just

says, save us, O Lord, our God, gather us from among the nations that we may give thanks to your

holy name and glory in your

praise.

And that verse, well, it's in so many ways applicable right now as we turn our eyes to God in the

middle of a pandemic and say we need your salvation, your deliverance, your provision. And I was looking through the prayer

requests that people are sending in just specific ways to pray in light of the coronavirus

crisis we are in. And let me encourage you to continue sending those in to radical.net slash

prayer requests as we just pray over each of those

and identify one to pray for together each day. I want to read from what Carissa wrote. She said,

please pray for people groups around the world who are facing particular need. There's time. Please pray for people groups around the world who are facing particular need. There's time. Please pray for people

groups around the world who are facing particular needs during this time. And then she goes on to

mention rural Uganda and Ethiopia and Kenya and Somalia. So just think East Africa who in addition to dealing with this virus are dealing with a plague of locusts.

Many people must make the choice between protecting themselves from this virus or protecting their food source from the locusts.

If you don't know about this, I would

encourage you to just search this online and see what is happening in East Africa right now,
