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

Thus says the Lord of hosts, thus says the Lord of hosts, the commander of heavenly armies,

the sovereign ruler over all the world, spiritual, physical over it all.

God declaring to his people, return to me, and I will return to you on a picture that if

God's people would just return to him, repent of sin, that God would turn to them, pour out his

abundant blessing on them. God is offering them everything they could want or need if they will

only turn to them. And we know the picture that we see all throughout the Bible of God's people

spurning this invitation and doesn't it make you just want to say, God, help us to do this today.

Isn't this our greatest need in our lives and our families and our churches,

certainly in our culture and the country I live in and whatever country you might be in among

any nation. This is our greatest need to turn to God. So what's keeping us from doing this?

Turning, returning to him for all who know him, all of our heart, all of our soul, repenting of

sin and seeking him early and late and long and experiencing his blessing and enjoying him to

the full, his presence and his promises. God, help us, help me. I confess, God, part of me doesn't

even know what I'm praying for specifically hear what this returning needs to look like. I just

know it needs to happen in my life in a fresh way and my family and my church and our churches

and our culture and our countries we need to return to you. God, help us to see this and help us

to do this to repent of sin. God, we need a fresh opening of our eyes to the seriousness of sin

in our lives, sin that we've become desensitized to, sin that we've become complacent with. God,

I pray for fresh repentance in my own life as I'm reading this. In a life of every single person

listening to this, God, we need revival like this. We want you to return to us. We want to see

the fullness of your blessing and your grace and your abundance. We want to experience all that
