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

5 verse 18, O King, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father,

kingship and greatness and glory and majesty. I want you to think with me about this statement

that Daniel makes to the king about his father saying, King, your father had greatness,

glory and majesty and he was king. He had kingship because the most high God gave him those things

part of what we were praying according to in Daniel chapter 4, but the reality is

anything that is good ultimately comes from God. Anything good, he's the author of everything

good, which means it is good to pause and to consider all the good things in our lives,

around our lives, around the world and to give God glory for all of those good things.

Down to the most basic thing when you get to verse 23, the Bible talks about how God holds our

breath in his hand. Like, breath is a good thing to have and God gives it. It doesn't just happen

naturally. God is the one who gives it. So I want to lead us just to pray and I'm just going to

list good things. I hope is the spirit leads and brings them to mind, but maybe in a way that you

just start to think about all kinds of good things in your life and good things around your life and

good things in the world. And maybe you continue, even after I say, Amen, just praising God for his

goodness. Just list all the good things. Thank God for his goodness in all these ways. God,

we praise you as the author of everything good. So we praise you for our breath. We praise you for

the life we have, the ability to go through this day. We praise you for your love in our lives.

Jesus, we praise you for the cross for dying for our sins for rising from the grave for

eternal salvation for eternal life. That even when this breath is gone, we have no reason to fear

because we will be with you forever. That is infinitely good news. God, we praise you for

friends. We praise you for family. We praise you for food. We praise you for clean water.
