Hey, this is David Platt. I want to invite you to join me on our new podcast, Everyday Radical.

We're having honest conversations about the real challenges of following Jesus and what it

looks like to make him known in your neighborhood and among all nations.

If you want practical guidance and encouragement

to follow Jesus every day

with all your heart for His glory in all the world,

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

Acts chapter 9, verse 31.

So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort

of the Holy Spirit it multiplied. Oh, there is so much in this one verse that I want to lead us to

pray over the church in our day. So think about your local church

that you're a part of. Think about the church in your city, the followers of Jesus in your city.

Think about the church in your country, the followers of Jesus around your country,

and then the church of Jesus among the nations, the followers of Jesus and all the different

places in the world where the church exists. So let's just pray Acts 931 over us. So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being

built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

God, we pray that this would be so over. Each of our local churches all the way to churches

across our community and countries around the world.

We pray for peace in your church.

God, we pray that you would guard us against all the adversary's attempts to destroy the peace you've designed for us.

God, we pray for peace in you. We pray for freedom from anxiety and worry for freedom from strife and division across your church. We pray that we would be built up.
