Thank you for joining us today on our daily Christian prayer podcast, wherever you are across the world, as we lock shields of faith, as we gather for prayer, recorded live here in London, England for these quick-fired five-minute commuter prayer. Whether you're commuting, whatever you are doing, cutting the grass on the treadmill of life, wherever you are, relaxing, standing, sitting, laying down, whatever you are doing right now, the presence of God is with you. If you're at work, if you're on a school run, if you're on a coffee run, if you're in a little cheeky croissant, wherever you are right now, even if you're in a little drive-thru, McDonald's, whatever you are doing, the spirit of the living, God is with you. Because guess what? I've got something to great to tell you today. God doesn't wait in the church for us.
God is omnipresent. He is out, he is out the trap of church. God is everywhere. He's in the drive-thru with you, he's in your van, he's in your life, he's in your front room, he's in your heart, he's in your mind, your body, your soul. The spirit of the Lord is everywhere. No church leader, no one can control this eternal God. You are free because who the sun sets free is free indeed. I want to encourage you, never give up. We're in the prayers of David. We're in Psalm 23, and here we go, verse 6. Surely goodness and mercy, let's believe, for goodness and mercy will follow me, and the love of God will follow us all the days of our lives. Father, right now we pray that goodness and mercy will be for our feet. We believe in the Psalm 23, verse 6. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I thank you, Lord, that we are dwelling in the house of the Lord. I thank you, Lord, that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. The listeners of myself, Lord, we walk through the valley of the shadow of death and we will fear no evil. But Lord, we thank you that goodness and love will follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Lord, we dwell in a secret place. We walk in a secret place. We know that the kingdom of God lives within. We know that the kingdom of God is around. We know that we walk with the great
I am. Father, we thank you for this prayer series as we are praying through faith for the assurance of God's eternal hope in God's presence. We believe right now that the power of the Holy Spirit is over each and every one of our lives, and we pray for major breakthrough. Lord, we thank you that the power of God is over our lives. Lord, we believe, we believe Psalm 23, where it ends, our faith journey begins. Lord, we believe that we are on a journey for good. We believe all things work together for good, all those who walk in Christ Jesus. So Father, we believe that all things work together for good for all those that are grafted into the vine. We believe that all things work together for good for all those that are Bible-believing believers. We believe that all things work together for good. So surely goodness and mercy shall follow me across the world. Father, as we lock shields with millions of brothers and sisters praying these prayers of hope, praying these prayers of faith for God's guidance in our lives. Lord, we believe that the word is alive, sharper than a double-edged sword. We believe that you are our shepherd. We believe that grace follows us. We believe that the season that we're in is a good season. Doesn't matter if it's dark, light, whatever it is, it's a good season because our God is with us, that you never leave us nor forsake us. But right now we pray that we will trust in God's goodness. We pray for every season that we face, that we will find peace for our future, that we will find restoration for our souls, wholeness for our minds. And Lord, as we walk through the valley, Lord, we believe that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Lord, we ask God's presence to be in our lives like never before. We experience God's mercy, your saving grace. We got the assurance of salvation. The joy of the Lord is with us. And wherever you are, sisters and brothers, we pray for such an outpouring of your love and your mercy that you will experience God's power, his mercy. Lord, and I ask you right now that we will make this scripture a life application. That Lord God, we will shout this out, that we hear the whisper of heaven, we will hear the voice of
God through the holy word that we read. We thank you that your word is holy. We thank you, your word is leading, your word is breakthrough. Father, there is breakthrough in our lives. Chains are breaking, satanic actions are gone, fear is gone, doubt is gone. And Father, we make this a life application today that surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. We're gonna write this on the tablet of our heart. It is the evidence that God is building us right now. God is building your life, God is leading you, God is drawing you, He's your shepherd, He's your great I Am. He is the lily of the valley, He is Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. He is the great I am, he is the seven I ams in the Gospel of John. He is the living word, he is your king and he is your savior. And don't you ever give up. Let the word of God carry you wherever you are across the world today. Let's declare the word of God. Let's keep these prayers of David pressing out. You know, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. And as we close this, this is what it says. Psalm 23, verse 6, listeners, surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I pray that you will dwell in the richness of God. I pray that you will dwell in his place. I pray that you will dwell in the Holy Spirit. I pray that you will find love and mercy and the goodness of God will be in your life. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you. Wherever you are, I pray that as you journey through the book of Psalms 23, verses 1 through to 6, that you will experience his love, his saving grace, and God prepares a way where there is no way. He's with you, he loves you, he will never fail you. His hand is over your life. May God bless you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for joining us today, wherever you are across the world. May the Lord bless you and keep you until tomorrow.
