Thank you for joining us today on our daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England. Trust me, brother and sister, it's not always cracked up to be when I say live here in London, England. You know, it's not all the Rasmataz, it's not on the showmanship. We are in a little studio that God has blessed us with. It's been sweat, time, and toil to get where we are in this church. We are in Elim Church, you know, that's where our pastor, all the Rasmatazz that goes with that. You know, we are nestled here, just on the outskirts of London, right here in London, England. It is not as glamorous as you might think. Trust me. We are in an area where we
need prayers. Can you please pray for the church, this ministry? You know, because we're right at the front line. We're right on the front line of everything. But the Lord has blessed us, the Lord is blessing you too. And you know what? The power of prayer is with you right now. I thank you for joining with me.

Press down, running over, shaking together. Let's get straight in as we record this live here in London, England, as we gather around the word of God, we are in. Thank you for your prayers, thank you for your support. May the Spirit of the Lord
be over you. Father, in the name of Jesus, as we pray right now for anxiety. Sister and brother, we're in 1 Peter chapter 5, verse 7. This is for you. This is for you right now. Wherever you are, this is for you, and I'm with you because I need this. Cast all your cares, cast all your anxiety. Whatever translation you're reading from, I'm reading from the NIV, and this is what it says: cast all your anxiety onto him because he cares for you. Father, in the name of Jesus, we claim this scripture because we need, Lord, this anxiety to go. Lord, we're worried about relationships, we're worried about children, we're worried about finances, we're worried for the sake of worrying. Sometimes, God, I don't even know why I'm worrying, but Lord, will you help me in the name of Jesus? Lord, I pray for peace over every listener today, that we will find peace and freedom from anxiety, and we will find rest in God's care. Father, we thank you that the prayers of a righteous
person are powerful and effective. And Lord, you tell us just to be like a fisherman, and right now we cast all our anxieties. Lord, we got the fishing rod of life and we cast that out to the sea. Lord, and we thank you that we're not gonna reel it back, we're not gonna bring it in. Lord, we don't want to bring that in. We're not gonna reel that back like a fisherman, we're gonna leave it at the name of Jesus, and we cast it to Jesus, we bring it to you, and we bring it to the cross. And right now, wherever we are gathered for prayer in these quick-fired commute of five minutes, Father, we thank you that anxiety goes. Lord, that's that sickness, disease bows at the name of Jesus. And Father, we love you, we bless you, but right now the world is anxious. The the language of the world, Lord, we need rest. Father, 1 Peter 5, verse 7. God, it's so simple, Jesus. We want to exchange the anxiety for hope. We want to exchange the anxiety, dear God, for freedom. We want to exchange the anxiety for the glory, for the power. Lord, we want to exchange anxiety,
dear God, for trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. And we come to you, God, in the greatest name. Lord, we don't come in our own strength, we come in the greatest name in heaven and earth. And today's prayers are for anxiety to go. We need to overcome fear and we need peace in stressful times. Father, hear the cry from the ground to the boardroom. Father, from the battlefield to the throne, wherever we are in life, Father, we need healing. Oh, God, in the name of Jesus, I pray for the sisters and the brothers right now that every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. And Father, we believe that we got freedom from anxiety and fear. We got peace of mind, trust in God's timing. Lord, this is where I foul. Lord, I want everything right now.
Lord, I think you're a microwave God. I think that I can press the button and hear you ping the miracle out in the microwave. But Lord, I've got to be faithful in your timings. I've got to trust you. Lord, you're not dear God. You're not that microwave God. You are a God when you tell us, Ben, just endure. Just keep going through the valley of the shadow of death. Never give up. Never give up, brother and sister. Never give up. God is with you. He is your yes and amen. You know, when you look as we carry on through prayer, Meshach, Shamrach, and Abendigo, when we look at those three characters, that king looked over the edge and he said, Who's the fourth one? That's my God. That's my king. My king is walking with me. The savior of the world is with me. My God is breaking sickness. My God is breaking fear. Lord, we pray for panic attacks right now, that they will go in the name of Jesus. Worry will bow down. We pray for everyone under the sun, the battle of depression. Lord, we pray that the battle of Goliath, that larger warrior of depression, it smashes to the floor, Father, because we put the word of God to flight and we speak that word over our lives. And Father, we believe in the power of the word of God. We believe that we are free today and we preach the word through the way that we live. Father, we don't need a pulpit because we're living the word. Father, we are evangelists, and Lord, we don't need to have an evangelist style. We are just living the word. Father, we thank you that as we live the word, people see the light of the world shining from us. And today, Lord, I thank you that darkness has gone. And as we come to you, the cross of Calvary, Father, we make this a life application. And Lord, I cast everything onto you. Tell your world wherever you are. Each time anxiety rises, I repeat this and say, Lord, I need peace. I am swapping for anxiety for blessing. I am swapping anxiety for blessing. Lord, I am not gonna walk in fear anymore. I'm not gonna walk in doubt anymore. I'm not gonna walk in unrest anymore. I'm not having it, Jesus. I need you to show up on my front door. I need you to show up in my life. I need you to show up, God, because you are my God. You are my shepherd. And Lord, I declare the word of God over my life right now. Lord, I'm gonna do a Jacob on you. I'm gonna wrestle with you until I get my blessing. I'm gonna wrestle with you. I'm pushing everything over the brook today, and I'm coming to get my God. I'm coming to get my healing. I'm coming to get my freedom. I'm coming to get my king. I'm coming to get that healing. I'm coming to get that breakthrough. God, I'm coming and I'm gonna find you, dear God. You tell me, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Spirit of the living God, I pray, Lord, that we will never let you go through the word of God. I pray for the sisters, the brothers, wherever they are, that they will feel the fire and the power of God in their lives. Thank you for joining me today. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May the Lord bless you and keep you and remind yourself never give up. I'm a child of the living God. The devil is a liar. I'm blessed and highly favoured, wonderfully and fearfully made. Until tomorrow.
