| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:30.2 | Is he inquires of the Lord? |
| 0:34.0 | God shall I do this? Where do I go? What do I do? |
| 0:38.0 | He is from the beginning here seeking God for direction, for wisdom, for help, for guidance. |
| 0:47.4 | He's not doing anything apart from the direction and guidance of God. Now obviously, |
| 0:54.4 | for anybody who knows the way David's life unfolds, if he had just done this at every moment, |
| 1:03.2 | then so much of his story would be different. But isn't that true not just for David's life, |
| 1:10.2 | but for our own lives? What would be different if we paused before making major decisions? |
| 1:20.9 | And even minor decisions, and we, I just think about the book of Nehemiah, |

| 2:28.5 | We don't want to send today, keep us from temptation. Jesus, you taught us to pray. Lord, |
| 2:33.7 | you just lead us not into temptation. Oh God, but deliver us from evil and we pray for your wisdom |
| 2:40.4 | and every decision we make, we are so prone to foolish decisions. We are so prone to do what we think |
| 2:46.4 | is best instead of walking according to your word and doing what you say is best. So God, help us |
| 2:53.5 | we pray to walk with you, to do according to your word, to follow the leadership of your spirit. |
