Speaker 1

Now , without further ado , let's continue to pray as we get in close to the word of God , and I don't know about you , brother , I don't know about you , sister , wherever you are across the world . I feel that this is very relevant today . Isaiah 40 , verse 31, . But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength . Do you need your strength renewed today ? Are your bones aching , lord ? Let's pray , brothers , brothers and sisters .

Speaker 1

The title of the prayer is pray for strength in trials . This seems to be a very common theme , you know , across the world , in my life , in our lives , so this will be a continuum . I really believe so , father . We pray right now for strength in the valley of the shadow of death . Even though we walk through the valley , lord psalm 23 even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death , we will fear no evil because you and your rod and your staff are with us . You comfort us . So , father , as we come to you today , lord , we thank you for the power of the word of God and right now , in the name of Jesus , we pray for strength in the valley of trials , father , and as the book of Isaiah says in verse 40 , 31, . But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength , they will soar on wings like eagles , they will run and not grow weary , they will walk and not be faint .

Speaker 1

Spirit of the living God , I need strength in my innermost being today , lord , you need to strengthen my voice , you need to strengthen my bones . You need to strengthen my bones , you need to strengthen my thinking , my understanding , because , lord , I'm looking at life and it seems really difficult , jesus . So , lord , I'm praying for strength in hard times . In the name of Jesus , I'm praying for courage , lord , with the trials that we face , that I face , with the challenges , lord , of just breathing . Some days , god , it's so difficult , jesus , to get out of bed , but , lord , I thank you , lord , for the power of your word . And , lord , we pray for those that are rising today , those that are getting out of bed today . We pray that you will bless them , pressed down , running over , shaken together . Lord , strengthen us , lord .

Speaker 1

Our prayer is for strength when we're feeling weak and when we're tired , lord , and we're feeling negative and we're feeling down . So , lord , we pray , lord , that the presence of God and the Holy Spirit , lord , will lift us in the times of hard times and worried times , with the lack of money , the fear of the future , the job situation , the relationships , the situation at home , the situation at work , school , education . Lord , we just pray , lord , for strength in trials , lord . That is the cry of our heart today . That is the cry of our heart , lord . This is coming straight from my heart today , lord , and I need you , jesus . I really need you today . I need you , lord , in the storm of life . So , lord , I pray for strength in trials and I believe that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength . Lord , you've got to renew my strength , jesus . Lord , you've got to renew me today . Lord , I've got to find that strength because today is looking difficult , god . Today is looking like a fearful moment in certain areas of life and , lord , I pray , as we feel weak , you will strengthen us and carry us in the glorious name of Jesus Christ . Lord , that you will strengthen us through financial hardship .

Speaker 1

Lord , through uncertain days . As we look across the platform of the world , lord , we hear wars , rumors of wars . Lord , we're frightened , father , of what we see . Lord , and even though we are born again , jesus , lord , you know we're born again because you have given us salvation . And , lord , we've got to tell you today , lord , we're fearful of life and I'm not frightened , lord , of telling the world . Lord , some days I get scared , some days I wake up and I'm scared , lord , and I'm completely drenched in sweat because I'm scared and I'm fearful . So , lord , will you remove the fear ? Lord , will you remove the doubt ?

Speaker 1

But , spirit of the living God , we pray for courage in uncertain days . We pray for strength in daily struggles , whatever that may look like through our eyes . Lord , we pray , lord , for that inner strength and resilience . Lord , just strengthen us today , please , god , lord , please , let your word come alive in our spirit . Will you keep us strong , just so we keep going , just so we keep moving forward ? Because , lord , even getting into work is tough . Even getting in the bus is tough . Even getting in the car , the van , the truck , lord . Getting on the train , lord of life , father , just getting out the house sometimes is difficult , lord .

Speaker 1

So we're praying today for strength , we're praying for hope , we're praying for the power of God , lord . We're praying , lord , for the rhythm of the word of the Holy Spirit , lord . So , father , we thank you for the book of Isaiah , 40 , verse 31 . But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength . They will soar on wings like eagles , they will run and not grow weary . They will walk and not be faint . Spirit of the living God , we need strength today for the trials and tribulations that we face . But we thank you today , lord , that we are spirit-filled , blessed and highly favoured . And , dear God , give us strength in hard times . In Jesus' name , amen . Thank you for joining me today . May the Lord bless you and keep you . We will see you tomorrow on another daily prayer podcast with myself , reverend Ben Cooper , until tomorrow .
