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

net.

Isaiah chapter 64 verse one oh that you would rend the heavens and come down

that the mountains might quake at your presence.

Pardon me, wants to just keep reading through this whole chapter, because this tone from

the first verse just carries on.'s a tone of desperation in prayer.

Oh God that you would rend the heavens and come down the The prayer is basically saying, God, without you, we are hopeless. We need

you. We are desperate for you to do what only you can do.

When you get to verse 4, from of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear,

no I has seen a God besides you who acts for those who

wait for him, who trust in him. And when I read this chapter in Isaiah and I see this prayer of desperation,

I'm challenged in my own life to pray like this, with total desperation for God to do what only God can do.

I think about my life, I think about my family, I think about my life I think about my family I think about the church I'm a part of I think

about the city I live and I think about my country I think about the nations in every

sphere of my life that I can think about in the world that I can think about.

I am. We are desperate for God to do what only He can do.

Even the simple things that I might think in my life on a daily basis like

fighting sin I need I am desperate for God's help today to not fall into temptation. I think about my relationship

with my wife and my kids. To love my wife as Christ loves the church to lay down my life for her at every moment.

I need Jesus to help me do that.

To have the wisdom to shepherd each of my kids hearts, to love and serves

them well at every moment.
