Prayer As The Sounding Trumpet
- Prayer functions like the trumpet in Numbers 10:10, a symbolic plea that brings our needs before God.
- David Platt explains the trumpet was more than attention-getting; it was a ritual reminder asking God to remember and act for His people.
Sound The Trumpet Continually In Prayer
- Sound the trumpet in prayer regularly by voicing specific needs and petitions throughout your day.
- David Platt urges praying morning, night, and continually, explicitly saying, God, I need your help in my life today.
Pray Specifically For People And Unreached Groups
- Use prayer to intercede for specific people and groups by naming them and their needs.
- Platt models this by praying for his family, church, coworkers, and unreached people groups like the Kamal in Nepal.
