Thank you for joining us today on our daily Christian prayer podcast. Wherever you are, whatever your time zone is. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. You know me by now. And I pray that for each and every one of us, God, God will stir our hearts. God will stir our hearts for great things. Don't give up in your vision. Don't give up in your dream. Don't allow the world to crush you. Don't allow society. Don't get caught on social media. Don't allow social media to dictate to you how to live because it is not of God. Live by the word of God. Start your day, start our day off of social media and in the book. Start our day with Psalm 5, verse 3. Thank you for joining us today as we as we pray through these quick-fired five-minute commuter prayers. Whether you're running from your desk to the coffee machine, whether you're throwing the kids out, literally not throwing them out by the way, putting them out at school, you know what I'm saying. Whether you're driving the van, the truck, the car, you're in the aircraft, whatever you are doing, come on, world. Come on. We belong to Jesus Christ. Let's get into prayer. Let's shake the devil's house today. Come on. God is with you. Start your day with this. This scripture is beautiful.
And we're in Psalms chapter 5, verse 3, and this is what the psalmist writes the prayer of David. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice. In the morning, I lay my request before you and wait, expecting. Father, I am expecting a move of you today. Lord, the listeners and myself, we're expecting a move of God. But Lord, I want you to teach me how to pray. I want you, Lord, through the Holy Spirit, to teach us how to pray in the morning. Lord, we can do lip service, Jesus, but I want to pray from the heart, God. Lord, not only do I want to pray from the heart, God, I want to pray, Lord, from the Word of God. I want to pray from the Scripture. I want to pray, Lord, from my innermost being. Lord, I want to pray that I see results. Lord, I don't want it to be like church, just lip service and happy clappy. Lord, I want to pray, Lord, that heaven hears our voice. I want to pray that the Holy Spirit moves. I want to pray that angels are put to flight over the Word of God. So teach me how to pray with the Word of God. Teach me how to pray with Scripture. Teach us how to pray. Lord, I pray for my friends online, whoever they are, wherever they are. I pray for the brothers and sisters that partner with us right now. Every ear that is listening to my voice, I pray for you now in the name of Jesus. And I pray as we partner together, because we are
locking shields of faith. You can't see me, but I can't see you. But we can we are connected through the kingdom of God. And I pray for your sister right now. Whatever is going on in your life, God is going to break through. Brother, whatever is going on in your life, God is going to break through. But God is telling you and me, He's telling every one of us to open up the word of God and pray. And Lord, we need to be taught how to pray. So Lord, through this prayer time, teach us how to pray. Lord, help us to take the Lord's Prayer and to take that scripture and to pray it every day in our lives. Lord, I thank you that in the morning, according to the Psalm of David, in the morning, Lord, you hear my voice. Lord, you tell us you hear our voice in the morning. So Lord, I pray that when I wake up, I won't get on my phone, I will get in the Word of God. I pray that when I get up, I won't check my WhatsApp. Lord, when I wake, I won't check my social media feed. Lord, when I wake up, Lord, I will open the word of God and I will pray the holy prayer of God. I will pray the psalms. I will sing psalms as soon as I wake in the name of Jesus. Lord, I don't want to be on my phone. I don't want to be doing what the world expects me to do. Lord, in the morning, Lord, I ask you to wake me up early so that I can have a deep and meaningful intimate relationship with my God through the word of God. So Lord, I bring everything, my cares, my worries. Lord, help me to keep off the social. Help me, Lord, to shut my ears through what's happening around the world. Lord, I ask you, Lord, that you, dear God, will speak to us in the morning and we will rise in the name of Jesus. Lord, and the Bible says, sister and brother, the Lord will hear our voice. And in the morning, I lay my request before you and wait. I am waiting. Lord, I am trusting on God's time. I'm trusting like the brothers and sisters around
the world right now. We are hoping in the word of God. Because Lord, everything else has fouled. Everything else has dropped off the peg. And right now, Lord, we need Jesus. And Lord, as we pray through the Psalms, dear God, Psalm 5, verse 3, I thank you for this daily prayer. I thank you, Lord, that there are so many of us across the world hungry for answers, hungry for God. So Lord, teach us to pray. Help us to make this time in the early hours of the morning, when we rise in the morning, whenever we get out of the bed, whenever we kick back the duvet, Lord, no matter what attitude we're in, Lord, if we're grumpy, we're sorry. Lord, if we're fed up, we're sorry. Lord, if we're worried, we're sorry. But Lord, before the day starts, before the stress starts, teach me and bring me to prayer. So, Father, I thank you, Lord. I want change in my area of life. I want to see change through the power of God. Lord, before the stresses of the day, before the decisions of the day, before the demands on our lives, Lord, I want to lift my voice to the Lord. I want to lift my heart. I want to lift my worries. I want to have those moments with God. I want you to listen to us, God. Lord, I know, Lord, that in the morning it is powerful. But Lord, I pray as we start our day, our day will start with God and not with the social networks. Lord, I pray that we'll have peace in the morning. And Lord, that you'll give us strength in the morning in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. But wherever we are, Lord, I pray, Lord, that our strength and our focus is on you today. I pray that God's presence will be with us forever. Yes and amen. I pray for guidance in the name of Jesus that you will strengthen us and carry us. I pray that blessings and peace will abound every day. I pray, Lord, that we will find hope and encouragement in the morning. Lord, give us today our daily bread. Give us the scripture. Give us the anointing. Lord, we want to walk out the house powerful. We want to walk out the house letting our light shine. We want to go into the workplace and let HR know we're armed and we are dangerous with the word of God. We want to tell the educational world we're filled up with the glory of God. We want to tell our work colleagues that uh we are blessed and highly favored. We want to tell the counselor, we want to tell uh the physician, we want to tell those in the hospitals that are looking after us that we're healed in the name of Jesus. Lord, we're demanding, we're demanding healing today. Lord, we ain't going nowhere, Lord. We're gonna wrestle with you in the name of Jesus, the Spirit of the living God. I pray that in the morning I lift my voice to God. Come on, wherever you are, stand with me, shout in the name of Jesus across the airways today, wherever you are, whether you're in a car, you're in a van, you're at school, wherever you are, just tell the world around you Jesus Christ is the way, He's my healer, He's my rock, He's my King, He's the great I am, and He's with me. And in the morning, my God hears my voice. In the morning, my God carries me. In the morning, my God wraps his love around me. Spirit of the living God. We pray for the
listeners, and right now, Lord, we declare that in the morning I lift my voice to God and he hears my prayers. May the Spirit of the Living God be over you. Wherever you are today, never give up. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May He carry you and bless you as He always does. See you tomorrow.
